Common questions about our training courses
ESG integration is treated as an applied investment discipline throughout the course. Delegates work through how ESG factors are identified, assessed, and incorporated into financial analysis and portfolio decision-making using established tools and frameworks. The ESG risk analysis workshop gives delegates direct hands-on practice applying these frameworks to investment portfolio scenarios, ensuring the content moves from principle to practice rather than remaining at a conceptual level.
Green bonds, impact investing vehicles, and other sustainable investment products are covered as distinct product categories, examining how each is structured, what ESG criteria they are designed to meet, and how their financial performance is evaluated alongside their sustainability outcomes. Delegates gain a working understanding of how to assess and select sustainable investment products within a broader ESG-aligned portfolio strategy, which is directly applicable to asset allocation and mandate design decisions.
The group exercise asks delegates to design a sustainable investment portfolio aligned with defined ESG objectives, applying the integration frameworks, product knowledge, and risk assessment techniques covered throughout the course. It is structured as a collaborative applied exercise that connects ESG analysis, product selection, and strategy development into a single practical output. Delegates leave with direct experience of the portfolio design process they can reference and adapt for their own investment mandates.
The course covers the key tools and frameworks used in professional ESG investment analysis, including how ESG rating agencies construct their assessments, how ESG indices incorporate sustainability criteria, and how qualitative and quantitative ESG factors are integrated into investment evaluation processes. These are addressed in the context of real investment decision-making so delegates understand not just what the frameworks are but how to apply them to specific asset classes and portfolio contexts.
Evaluating the financial performance of sustainable investments is covered as part of the sustainable investment products content, addressing how ESG-aligned strategies have performed relative to conventional benchmarks and what the evidence base for ESG integration as a return driver looks like. Delegates develop a balanced, evidence-informed view of the relationship between ESG integration and financial performance rather than accepting either the optimistic or sceptical narrative uncritically.
The course covers the key performance indicators used to measure ESG outcomes across environmental, social, and governance dimensions, alongside the reporting tools and frameworks used to structure credible ESG disclosures. Developing transparent and credible ESG reports is addressed as a professional discipline, covering what strong ESG reporting looks like, what it requires from data collection and verification processes, and how case studies illustrate the gap between effective and ineffective ESG reporting in practice.
