A recent event hosted by BNP Paribas in association with the Emerging Markets Investor Alliance (EMIA), brought together experts in the field of emerging markets, credit, and sustainability to discuss Emerging Market debt and the importance of ESG within the region. Speakers addressed ESG regulation and data, how investors can support the transition in emerging markets, sovereign engagement as an essential tool to drive forward ESG adaptation and the increasing need to incorporate biodiversity in investment decisions.
The difficulties of regulation & data in the market
When it comes to attracting and generating sustainable investments, emerging markets face even more complex issues than developed markets. This includes the lack of clear frameworks and the differing standards across ESG regulation and reporting. The demand for enhanced ESG disclosure is substantial and only growing as investments continue to increase accompanied by exponential growth in the amount and types of data available for ESG investors to consider.
Fidelity Emerging Markets Limited (LON:FEML) is an investment trust that aims to achieve long-term capital growth from an actively managed portfolio made up primarily of securities and financial instruments providing exposure to emerging markets companies, both listed and unlisted.
