ShareAction’s research shows that health poses a blind spot to investors. As it stands, the impact of companies on people’s health is contributing to lives being cut short and exposing assets to unnecessary financial risk. That’s why we’re establishing the Long-term Investor’s in People’s Health (LIPH) initiative - a global initiative, supported by The Health Foundation and Guys & St Thomas’ Foundation, which will work with the investment system to elevate health as a systemic risk and evolve stewardship practices to more effectively mitigate this risk and to capitalise on health-related opportunities.

Please join us on the 25th April, when we will be hosting a webinar where you’ll hear from leading asset managers, owners and others driving the health agenda forward, including Legal & General Investment Management, Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation and Achmea Investment Management. You can sign up to the event here (https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/prioritising-health-as-a-portfolio-opportunity-tickets-300675276847)
