Understanding ESG Investing

By Andrea Young on June 1, 2022

We want to thank Kirsten Meder for leading our July 12th Empower Women Event, Understanding ESG Investing. Kirsten discussed where we’ve come from in terms of ESG and impact investing, where we are now, and opportunities for the future.  She also talked about how the integration of values and ESG data has provided a great entry point for many women to become more involved with their investments.  “In so many of my client meetings women not only have a seat at the table but are actively engaged if not leading the discussion around how they want to invest.”

Kirsten Meder, CAIA, CMT, is an ESG/SRI Investment Strategist at Aperio. In this role, Ms. Meder works with clients to align their equity portfolios with their values.  She works closely with the ESG and Portfolio Management teams in the evaluation of ESG data sets and the creation of new strategies and works with Aperio’s Research Team on projects related to ESG issues.  Prior to joining Aperio, Ms. Meder was a Portfolio Manager at Lattice Strategies (acquired by Hartford Funds), where she was responsible for managing strategic and tactical multi-asset SMA portfolios for high-net-worth clients and for allocating to liquid alternative investments.  Additionally, Ms. Meder spent several years working for Bank of America/Merrill Lynch as a Research Analyst, where she was a generalist on their fund of hedge funds team.
