Alpha FMC launches dedicated ESG & Responsible Investment
practice to formalise their response to the huge surge in industry
demand for consultancy services delivered by their experts in this
area
Global leader in asset and wealth management consulting
formalises market offering with dedicated ESG & Responsible
Investment practice in response to the growing demand for their
consultancy services from clients across the industry.
Alpha FMC, a leading global provider of specialist consultancy
services to the asset and wealth management industry, today
announces the launch of its dedicated Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) and Responsible Investment (RI) practice. The
practice will comprise a global network of 20+ ESG practitioners;
most of whom are already working with clients, on ESG & RI
programmes.
Alpha already plays a central role in helping clients meet ESG
& RI requirements, and has completed a large number of projects
in this space with asset managers, wealth managers, and asset
owners across the globe. Today's announcement reflects the formal
establishment of this capability as a standalone practice within
Alpha with the capacity to serve a greater number of clients.
Alpha's ESG & RI work to date has spanned across the entire
operating model of investment organisations, with the types of
initiatives ranging from 'strategy & advisory', 'planning &
design', through to 'execution'. Examples include the use of
Alpha's proprietary framework to benchmark firms against their
peers, as part of the process to define a firm's vision and
strategy, through to embedding ESG across the entire value chain.
Alpha has also helped firms address the technology foundations that
enable these changes in a scalable and efficient way. It has deep
expertise in delivering practical, on-the-ground change in
investment organisations - and provides strategies which it is able
to deliver.
Alpha's sole focus on the investment management industry,
coupled with its practical ESG project experience means it is
uniquely placed to support organisations on their ESG journey.
Alpha's proprietary insights and industry network enable firms not
only to take a clear view of what they need to do to remain
compliant, but to establish and maintain best practice, and remain
at the forefront of this highly competitive space.
The launch of a dedicated ESG & RI practice represents a key
milestone in Alpha's expansion strategy. Since its inception in
2003, Alpha has grown rapidly. Alpha has dedicated practices
covering the full asset and wealth management value chain and is
now the leading global consulting firm to the industry.
Vanessa Bingle, a Senior Lead in the ESG & Responsible
Investment Practice, said : "ESG & Responsible Investment has
gravitated from a "nice to have" to a critical offering for asset
managers to remain competitive. With clients demanding their asset
managers "show them" rather than "tell them" about their approach
to ESG & Responsible Investment firms are under increasing
pressure.
We are quickly seeing leaders emerge in this space, with the
most successful moving away from organically developed, siloed
approaches to a whole-of-organisation transformation with the
strategic focus that a change of this magnitude requires. We hope
that by applying our skillset and experience to this new area, we
can support the investment industry in its transition to a more
sustainable way of investing for the future.
Euan Fraser, Alpha FMC Global Chief Executive Officer, said:
"We are seeing ESG & Responsible Investment as a top
strategic priority for so many of our clients globally, so we are
delighted to announce a dedicated team that can support our clients
with their response. This topic has evolved at a speed unparalleled
by anything we have seen in recent times, with changing client and
regulatory demand impacting every function in our clients'
businesses. Having a coordinated front-to-back response, linked to
a long-term strategy, is proving challenging for many. Alpha has a
reputation for delivering the most complicated and important
programmes within the industry, and our ESG & Responsible
Investment team are no different, with a fantastic reputation that
couples deep SME expertise with core consulting skills, to deliver
practical change."
