Socially responsible investment, decent work and pension funds: concepts and international experiences

Autor: Goy, Julien; Schwarzer, Helmut
Año: 2013
Resumen: This paper aims at reviewing concepts and international experiences of SRI practices, especially among pension funds. It also provides an overview of what a pension fund can do if its stakeholders and managers take the decision to apply SRI criteria. The document should be seen as a contribution to the implementation of the Statement of Intent between the Government of Brazil and the International Labour Organization to promote decent work through the investment policies of Brazilian private pension funds, signed during the International Labour Conference in June 2011. The paper’s frame of reference is the investment of the assets of funds, such as pension schemes or funds of a similar nature, in the securities issued by corporate entities, and mainly - but not exclusively - company shares.

Botswana Social Protection

Autor: Tesliuc, Cornelia; Silverio Marques, Jose; Mookodi, Lillian; Braithwaite, Jeanine; Sharma, Siddarth; Ntseane, Dolly
Año: 2013
Resumen: The report lays out options to use social safety nets to meet the goal set by the Government of Botswana to eradicate extreme poverty by 2016 and in a budget neutral way. Introducing a Family Support Grant is argued to be a more efficient way to address absolute poverty by offering a family benefit to all the families in absolute poverty. Reforms in the Ipelegeng public works program would allow addressing existing shortcomings associated with coverage, targeting, generosity, and wrong labor incentives. The combination of the above will allow for a better weaving of the Social Safety Nets to ensure that the goal of lifting 16% of population from absolute poverty by 2016 is achieved.

Institutional Investors and Green Infrastructure Investments Selected Case Studies

Autor: Kaminker, Christopher; Kawanishi, Osamu; Stewart, Fiona; Caldecott, Ben; Howarth, Nicholas
Año: 2013
Resumen: This report is structured in three chapters. The first chapter examines the channels through which institutional investors can access green infrastructure, assesses the extent to which this is currently happening, and identifies the barriers to scaling up these investment flows. The second chapter presents four case studies: on utility-scale solar PV power generation in the United States, sustainable agriculture in Brazil, off-shore wind energy in the United Kingdom, and the securitisation of on-shore wind farms in Germany and France. The third chapter uses the conclusions on the case studies to draw out broader lessons for governments on the policy settings which may support investment in green infrastructure by institutional investors. These include, inter alia, ensuring a stable and integrated policy environment, addressing market failures, providing an infrastructure road map, facilitating the development of appropriate green financing vehicles, and promoting market transparency and improved data collection.

Institutional Investors and Infrastructure Financing

Autor: Della Croce, Raffaele; Yermo, Juan
Año: 2013
Resumen: The economic downturn is likely to have a lasting impact on the fund management industry and on long term asset allocation strategies of institutional investors. On one hand, in promoting more cautious investment strategies and a greater focus on portfolio risk management in the coming years. On the other hand, the prolonged low-yield environment has heightened the need for return-enhancing strategies, pushing some investors to invest in alternative assets. More fundamentally, the role of institutional investors in long term financing is constrained by the short-termism increasingly pervasive in capital markets as well as structural and policy barriers such as regulatory disincentives, lack of appropriate financing vehicles, limited investment and risk management expertise, transparency, viability issues and a lack of appropriate data and investment benchmarks for illiquid assets such as infrastructure.
