Speaking to
Investment Weekfollowing the launch, McIntosh-Whyte said: We wanted to give people the option to invest sustainably. We have discussed this for over two years, but we wanted to make sure what we came to the market with we really got right. It was a logical step for us.
Investment Week is hosting its Alternatives Briefing at a pivotal time for investors as they start to position for the recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, although risks remain.
During this interactive briefing, we will hear from a number of alternatives managers about their response to the extraordinary events of the past year and their outlook for the rest of the year and beyond.
The managers will identify where they are seeing the biggest opportunities and risks at the moment for their portfolios and explain the role their strategies could play in helping diversify client portfolios.
Attendees will also get the chance to network with peers, quiz our speakers, as well as benefit from CPD points.
Mobeen Tahir, associate director of research at WisdomTree, says the EV theme is beginning to make its way into portfolios through different avenues. Equity investors are not only looking at automakers, but they are also exploring the entire battery value chain that sustains the EV application, he explains. This includes miners of raw materials and battery manufacturers, but also those developing new charging technologies as well as alternatives to batteries like hydrogen fuel cells.
He adds: Commodity investors can also participate in this theme through their exposure to the raw materials integral to the manufacture of electric vehicles. Some of these metals include copper, silver, nickel, aluminium, and potentially platinum.
