Following on from the last round table (at which John Swinney MSP voiced his support of the Scottish Ethical Finance Hub concept) the October round table will examine green bonds, social impact bonds and “stranded assets”. The discussion will focus on current issues in these areas that are impacting both capital markets and retail orientated stakeholders. The session will include contributions from Martina Macpherson (OEKOM Research & SI Partners), Rebecca MacLean (Standard Life Investments), Ian Marr (Aberdeen YMCA) and Omar Shaikh (IFC), as well as the usual questions and discussion. There will also be an update on the progress of the SEFH Steering Group which was set up after the last roundtable.
