This document summarizes the key findings from the 2016 European SRI Study conducted by Eurosif. It found continued strong growth in sustainable and responsible investment in Europe, with a shift in SRI assets from equities to fixed income driven by growth in green bonds. Retail investor interest is growing, though institutional investors still drive most asset growth. Engagement and voting strategies are also growing strongly, showing increased emphasis on stewardship. While the view that ESG integration hurts returns has been largely debunked, categorizing ESG integration approaches remains difficult. Overall the study demonstrates ongoing expansion of SRI in Europe.

Technology as a Tool for Change: Integrating Social Intelligence at IKEABrandwatch
Companies around the world, big and small, use social media and social data daily. But just as social data doesn’t automatically equate social intelligence, gathering social data is only the first step in becoming a true social business.
Integrating social intelligence into large global organizations can be challenging, but it provides a host of benefits, as innovative companies like IKEA—the world’s largest furniture retailer—are discovering.
In these webinar slides, Hans Gartner of IKEA’s Digital Development team, accompanied by Brandwatch’s Glenn White, Head of Product, and Joel Windels, EMEA Marketing Manager, discussed:
- The state of social listening at IKEA
- Scaling social intelligence across organizations and cultures
- Using social media command centers to find and share social intelligence.

The document discusses concerns that persistently low interest rates in the Eurozone could lead to a new credit bubble and increased risks for banks. Several chief risk officers from major European banks were interviewed. They note that low rates make it difficult for banks to generate profits from lending. This could encourage banks to take on more credit risk or longer investment durations to seek higher yields. However, this could result in mispricing of credit risk or losses if rates rise. The risk officers are concerned this could replicate conditions before the subprime crisis and potentially lead to an accumulation of risky credit on bank balance sheets. Ongoing low rates also pose interest rate risk and impact business models dependent on lending margins.

Odyssey Analytic is a Swiss independent financial adviser founded in 2010 and registered with Polyreg. The firm focuses
on Socially Responsible Investing in both the private and public equity markets.
The firm currently advises Odyssey Green Planet Fund, the first long/short quant fund focused on investing in Green and Cleantech equi-
ties. By taking a quantitative approach to valuation the fund seeks to capitalise on the valuation inefficiencies created by the qualitative
managers who populate this theme. The valuation inefficiencies are a product of investors trying to understand the effect of politics on
company valuation as well as selecting what they believe are winning technologies or processes. Instead we believe that green compa-
nies’ performance is driven by global demographic and consumptive megatrends in water and energy, and that ultimately sound valuation
methodologies applied systematically are the key to any new and expanding sector, particularly if investors are to avoid and profit (after
all we short) from the inevitable busts. I would like to add that even though we are quants we are NOT high speed traders.
Odyssey Analytic are also active in the private equity space, focusing on Ocean Thermal Energy sources, which we believe are the un-
tapped path to the generation of base load energy for coastal communities. Our geographic focus is currently Latin America and South-
East Asia. We are working on using this source of energy to generate electricity, produce sustainable food (both horticulture and aquacul-
ture) and potable water as well as a source of cooling to substitute traditional sources. We will be bringing our first country focused fund
to market in April of this year and we will be using Green Bonds in the Debt/Equity structure.
