Exclusion vs. Engagement: Façonner un avenir durable avec vos investissements [French]
Êtes-vous prêt à faire passer vos investissements au niveau supérieur, non seulement pour un gain financier mais aussi pour le bien de notre planète et de notre société ? Dans cette vidéo, nous explorerons le monde de l'investissement durable et plongerons dans deux approches distinctes : l'exclusion et l'engagement. En tant qu'investisseur individuel, vous avez le pouvoir de façonner l'avenir en choisissant la manière dont vous allouez vos fonds. Regardez la dernière vidéo de formation pour investisseurs de BETTER FINANCE et découvrez comment vos investissements peuvent avoir un impact positif sur le monde, tout en s'alignant sur vos valeurs et vos objectifs financiers. Contour Dans le monde en évolution d'aujourd'hui, l'endroit où vous investissez compte. L'investissement durable, également connu sous le nom d'investissement ESG (Environnement, Société, Gouvernance), prend en compte l'impact d'une entreprise sur l'environnement, la société et la gouvernance. Nous explorerons deux stratégies clés : l'exclusion et l'engagement. L'exclusion écarte les entreprises qui ne correspondent pas à vos valeurs, mais cette approche peut présenter des inconvénients. L'engagement, quant à lui, implique de plaider activement en faveur du changement au sein des entreprises. Chacune de ces approches a ses avantages et ses inconvénients. Votre choix doit correspondre à vos valeurs et à vos objectifs. Regardez la vidéo « Exclusion vs. Engagement pour un avenir durable » et partagez-la pour inspirer à l'investissement durable. Vos investissements ont le potentiel de générer un réel changement. -
International Conference on the EU Retail Investment Strategy
The Retail Investment Strategy will be key in establishing a Capital Markets Union “that works for people”. The successful combined completion of the Retail Investor Strategy and the CMU Action Plan could generate a quantum leap in investor protection, empowerment and engagement, to their benefit and to the benefit of the CMU, sustainable investing and of the whole EU economy and democracy. The conference will take a close look at the key aspect of the Retail Investment Strategy for EU citizens as savers and investors. -
The Real Return: 10 years of reporting on the state of long-term & pension savings in Europe
BETTER FINANCE celebrates 10 years of “The Real Return”, providing essential and unique information for pension savers in the EU. For a long time, EU pension savers lacked comparable information on private pension savings in terms of structure, tax, costs, and real net returns. To address this, BETTER FINANCE launched a unique project in Europe in 2013, disclosing and comparing the long-term real net returns of voluntary occupational and private pension vehicles in Denmark, France, and Spain. Over the years the report grew to cover 18 EU countries. -

Roberto Silvestri, Josina Kamerling and Edoardo Carlucci discuss the possible role of SPACs in the context of the Capital Markets Union (CMU) in the EU, and the main regulatory issues concerning transparency and information disclosure, investor protection, and supervision.

Can Sustainable Value for Money be Achieved?
Josina Kamerling, head of regulatory outreach for CFA Institute for Europe, Africa, and the Middle East, and Guillaume Prache, Managing Director of BETTER FINANCE discuss a hot topic, sustainable value for money, based on a survey taken with CFA Institute and BETTER FINANCE. They address the gap between what financial professionals believe they should provide in order to deliver sustainable value for money and what retail investors expect and what is being done to create an alignment of those priorities. They delve into the impacts that duty of care, ESG investing, MiFID II, Key Information Documents (KIDs), among others factors have on sustainable value.
