Challenge responsible investing assumptions

Rodger Spiller, of Money Max, has been promoting responsible investment for many years. He said there were now enough responsibly-invested and managed funds that clients who wanted to adopt the approach would not find it difficult.

But galvanising people to care was another matter. “We need passionate advisers who care about it and want to see it happen.”

He is speaking at this week’s  Annual Responsible Investment Briefing in Auckland.

There was increasing interest in responsible investing, but changing investor behaviour was another matter, he said.
