2016 Mid-year report - September 2016
- Disruption in financial services… through the eyes of an ESG analyst
- Driverless cars, the sharing economy and blockchain are three of the top sources of disruption for Australia’s insurance and diversified financial services sector, according to AMP Capital’s latest Corporate Governance Report.
- Disruption is an integral part of AMP Capital’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) research into Australian companies. The way these companies position themselves for change provides ESG analysts with unique key investment insights.
- Gender diversity on boards: celebrating Australia’s progress
- It’s easy to be disheartened about the state of board diversity in Australia when less than 25 percent of company directors are women. But rather than dwell on the negatives, recognition of Australia’s solid progress provides plenty of reasons to celebrate.
- Just five years ago, women’s representation on the boards of Australia’s major companies was barely more than 10 percent. Since then, the number of board seats filled by women has risen sharply. The pace of improvement in Australia has been strong, especially when compared to the United States where progress appears to have slowed.
- How investors manage climate change risk in their portfolios
- AMP Capital considered how investment returns may be impacted by climate change and the decisions countries make as a result of their need to set ambitious emissions reduction targets. Understanding the climate change risk that might sit within an investor’s portfolio is not straight forward. There are three main climate change risks that manifest themselves in equity and corporate bond portfolios:
- Impact on company valuations as a result of policies to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of the companies (and their value chains) within a portfolio.
- Impact on company valuations of fossil-fuel producers and distributers as a result of policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Impact on company valuations from the physical impacts of climate change.

- CEO pay: How much is too much?
Companies often fall into the trap of paying their CEO ‘what everyone else pays’. After finding the total pay of CEOs can be many times that of the next highest paid executive in that organisation AMP Capital ponders whether the premium is justified.
- Gender diversity: Will the gender diversity of boards reach 30 per cent?
The boards of Australian companies are becoming more gender-diverse. In this article AMP Capital reports on the initiatives driving this change and investigates what more can be done.
- Paris Climate Conference: What to make of the Paris Agreement
As the global implications of climate change become more widely understood, it is pleasing to see countries work together to address the challenges. In this article AMP Capital considers the ramifications as well as the winners and losers of a commitment to limit global warming.
