Inequality as a systemic risk

The risks that climate change and biodiversity loss pose to portfolios have become more understood in recent years. However, inequality, as well as social risks and opportunities, remain difficult to understand and evaluate.

The Taskforce on Inequality and Social-related Financial Disclosures is seeking to address this. The initiative is developing a framework to facilitate more effective disclosures about impacts, dependencies, risks and opportunities related to inequality.

In this episode, New Private Markets senior reporter Charles Avery speaks to Delilah Rothenberg, co-founder of the non-profit Predistribution Initiative and a member of the TISFD steering committee. They discuss the latest on the TISFD and how investors can start to understand and address the risks that rising inequality poses to their portfolios.
