Investing for a sustainable future with Nuveen

Trust Waikato has recently formed a relationship with Nuveen, a global investment manager with a strategic focus on climate solutions and social inclusion. On 25 June we had the privilege of hosting Rekha Unnithan, CFA, Managing Director, Global Head of Private Equity Impact.

Rekha spoke about investing for a sustainable future, sharing her personal experiences and journey into using investment as a way to create social impact. We discussed how investing in the provision of basic services can expand access, affordability and resiliency where the need is the greatest.

Thank you Rekha for sharing your knowledge with us, and to all those who joined us to learn how we can invest in climate, social inclusion and diversity to create more just and inclusive communities.

The manager aims to invest in businesses that not only drive an inclusive transition to a low-carbon economy but also cater to the needs of vulnerable, low-income consumers.
