Social disparities

Our world today is marked by mounting social inequality which poses systemic risks that threaten societies and economies, and, by extension, the funds we manage. With many businesses now dwarfing governments in economic scale, there is increasing recognition of the role that businesses can and should play in tackling social disparities.

Social inequalities can limit productivity, destabilise supply chains, impact the resilience of our economies and disrupt the legal and political systems that enable us to serve our clients.

Increasingly regulators around the world are turning their minds to these issues, and so we believe it is critical for us to assess them through our thematic engagements in order to better anticipate and mitigate these risks.
