Runtime: 40 mins On the 16 May 2024 Aurum Funds Limited held its second Alternative ESG Symposium, which made for an insightful and informative day. The purpose of the event was to bring investors, managers and asset owners of alternative investments together to focus on how to approach ESG solutions in a turbulent world. The Symposium brought together a range of specialists in their respective fields to share their respective expertise and have informed debates. The aim when curating the event was to provide a forum to discuss the most important ESG challenges from both a high level and more detailed perspective as well as providing pragmatic advice and next steps. The sessions and the responses from those that attended exceeded expectations. The day was enriched by the wide variety of backgrounds and experience of the speakers, which ensured both a lively and informative debate.
