From reduction to removal
March 2022: Tim Kruger is the guest author in this year’s Ruffer Review. In this episode, we discuss his article which draws on his work in the field of carbon extraction and its role in the energy transition.
Responsible Investment Report
In our latest quarterly report, Research Associate Alexander Jones explores the framework we have designed to help us achieve a holistic understanding of fixed income risk. Elsewhere we present Ruffer's participation in the CDP Non-Disclosure Campaign, as well as stewardship activities from the fourth quarter of 2021.
Fixing the framework for fixed income
Earlier this year, a Ryanair passenger flight heading from Athens to Vilnius was alerted to an onboard bomb threat whilst flying over Belarusian airspace. It was subsequently ordered to make an emergency landing in Minsk, escorted by a fighter jet. However, the true motive behind the forced grounding soon became clear, as political activist Roman Protasevich was swiftly removed from the plane and detained by the Belarusian government.
Responsible Investment Report
In our latest quarterly report, Investment Associate Sophie Jamieson looks at one part of the energy transition story which is often overlooked – batteries. Specifically, we look at the merits of shifting from lithium-ion to sodium-ion technology. Elsewhere, we share details of our stewardship and engagement activities during the third quarter of 2021.
How a pinch of salt can help the energy transition
They are fundamental in powering our lives: lithium-ion batteries. Lightweight and durable, we use them in our phones, laptops and increasingly in our cars. Already, they seem embedded in our society, but the electric revolution is only just beginning.
Investing in big oil
October 2021: The energy sector has fallen from 16% of the S&P 500 just 13 years ago, to below 3% as of today. And yet the integrated oil majors make up more than 6% of Ruffer portfolios. We often receive questions from clients about the rationale and justification for these investments.
Climate Change Framework 2021
Our inaugural TCFD Report introduces Ruffer’s Climate Change Framework and provides a response to the recommendations of the Taskforce for Climate-related Financial Disclosure. The report exhibits our climate-related activities over the past few years and provides an insight into how our understanding of the risks facing our investee companies has evolved.
Engagement over exclusion
August 2021: Engaging with companies to improve their climate policies is not only beneficial to the environment, but also to investors. Hermione Davies explains how our engagement with ArcelorMittal has led to significant positive outcomes.
Responsible Investment Report
In our latest quarterly report, Investment Manager Rory Goodman examines the global significance of US President Joe Biden's new emission reduction targets announced at the Earth Day summit, and we share our stewardship and engagement activities during the second quarter of 2021.
Water scarcity
Disruption to weather patterns and an increase in extreme events have played havoc with the water cycle. The freshwater crisis is alarming not only because of our dependence on water, but also because of the speed at which the crisis is approaching.
