It is all hands on deck to deal with the current energy crisis, even if that forces countries to use more polluting fossil fuels to meet energy needs especially in the coming winter. However, that does not mean the transition to renewable resources should end up on the backburner. Instead, there is a clear case for accelerating the move to solar, wind and other sources of clean energy.  

Listen to this Talking heads podcast with Edward Lees, co-head environmental strategies group, and chief market strategist Daniel Morris. They discuss opportunities ranging from US infrastructure and securing supply chains for electric vehicle batteries to EV software and residential solar panels. Lees warns that funding support for under-pressure households should target the beneficiaries of high oil and gas prices without jeopardising the capital spending needed to speed up the energy transition.

Past performance is no guarantee for future returns. Investing in emerging markets, or specialised or restricted sectors is likely to be subject to a higher-than-average volatility due to a high degree of concentration, greater uncertainty because less information is available, there is less liquidity or due to greater sensitivity to changes in market conditions (social, political and economic conditions). Some emerging markets offer less security than the majority of international developed markets. For this reason, services for portfolio transactions, liquidation and conservation on behalf of funds invested in emerging markets may carry greater risk.
