Our partnership with the Exeter Sustainable Finance Centre

The RBC Global Asset Management Sustainable Investment Research Programme, led by Professor Chendi Zhang, Professor of Finance and Director of Exeter Sustainable Finance Centre, examined how climate risk exposure and sustainable investment more generally affect the risk-return trade-off of assets.
