Insight boosts ESG capabilities
Insight Investment has made two appointments to support management of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues as they arise in investment portfolios.
Joshua Kendall has been hired as ESG analyst and Dr Rory Sullivan will join the firm as a strategic advisor.
Reporting to David Averre, head of credit analysis, Kendall will join Insight's fixed income research team as ESG analyst, a newly-created role which will provide dedicated expertise to ESG activities.
Kendall joins from MSCI where he worked in a similar capacity since 2012. Before this he was a communications manager for the UNPRI.
Sullivan has been hired as a strategic advisor on a consultancy basis. He will provide advice on the integration of ESG issues into Insight’s investment processes, across all asset classes.
Until 2009, Sullivan was head of responsible investment Insight. Since then he has been an independent consultant and his clients have included UNPRI, the Global Compact and the United Nations Environmental Programme Finance Initiative (UNEPFI).
