One response to “Utah’s URS: Why fossil fuels and alt energy hold key to climate crisis”

  1. Rob Bauer

    Hi John, agree with your advice to institutional investors to redirect some of their ESG-related resources to activities that really contribute to (potential) future solutions (and be ware this is not just about climate change but also about labour rights, human rights, and of course biodiversity and nature in general). However, this also holds for redeploying many other resources such as the large number of portfolio managers and financial analysts that still play the relative game in public markets (without any systematic success as proven by dozens of academic papers). Most likely, this will free up way more capital to solve global challenges than firing a few people with good intentions….

In a wide-ranging conversation, he also explains the rationale for reducing equity to just 18 per cent of the total fund and why emerging markets aren't offering the diversification or returns they used to.
