Ethical investing: the basics
By Paraplanners' Assembly
What's it all about?
We're talking the basics of ethical investing in this online Assembly. Leading us in the chat is Mollie Thornton, Investment Manager at Parmenion.
If you are still trying to wrap your head around all the terminology and want to cement your basic understanding then this hour is for you. We'll be covering the key questions, such as:
- Understanding the terminology – ethical, ESG, SRI, sustainable etc.
- Navigating the range of products and styles of ESG investing
- The change in attitudes to ESG among companies and investors
- Greenwashing! How can investors combat this?
- How ethical considerations vary for different asset classes and regions
- Pros and cons of the increasing amount of data and ESG ratings available
- Active versus passive in ESG investing, what are the advantages or disadvantages?
- Negative screening
- MIFid II – Discussions with your clients
So join us, with your lunch if you've managed to hold out to 1pm, as we talk ethical investing.
This is a live Q&A, so if there is something that you want to ask on the above or anything else, pop it in the question section after you've registered or ask on the day.

How does this Online thing work?
Save your spot by clicking the button on the top right. It's free, the only thing you have to do is register an account.
On the day of the event just sign back in here. But, we'll also send a reminder email ten minutes before it starts.
On the tech side of things. Viewing the events on browsers such as Chrome or Firefox work best. Headphones are a good idea if you share an office, plus the ability to type so that you can ask questions via the chat feature.
What if I can't make it to the event?
Just sign-in and view a recording of the session whenever it suits you.
Can I ask questions?
Yes! As many as you can throw at our panel. Plus, if you can't make the event, book a spot and add a question beforehand, the panel will then answer it during the event.
Can I suggest a topic or be on the panel?
Absolutely, the more the merrier. Drop us an email.
Are there more Online events?
You bet your bottom dollar there are, and on lots of useful topics for paraplanners. Watch past and/or register for any upcoming events here.
There isn't an upcoming event listed, when will the next one be?
Sorry about that. We're just confirming the topics and putting together an A-Team panel for it. We do aim for every last Wednesday of the month, at lunchtime (1-2pm for most normal folk), so you can join in while eating your sandwich.
Sometimes we'll throw a curve ball and change the date. That's because we want to bring you AMAZING panel members, and they just can't make Wednesdays. It's as simple as that.
Actually, my question was on something else
Ooh, we like new questions. Just pop it in an email and send it on its merry way here.
One last question, what do you do with my details when I sign up?
Crikey, another good question! We’ll use your details to keep you posted on our happenings. From time to time, this will include activities that our supporters are participating in that we think you’ll find interesting. We share information at an aggregate level with our supporters every now and then.
