Laurent Trottier, Global Head of ETF, Smart Beta and Index Management at Amundi joins AssetTV to address opportunities and challenges in delivering sustainable investment solutions through passive strategies.

As the largest European asset manager, with responsible investing as a founding pillar, Amundi is fully committed to “walking the walk” when it comes to sustainability. Recently Laurent Trottier, Global Head of ETF, Smart Beta and Index Management discussed exactly this topic as part of a panel discussion hosted by AssetTV.

What are the possibilities for offering bespoke solutions for investors?
If ESG factors can affect the pricing of stocks, what does this mean for indices?
