GreenBolt: piloting a novel algorithm-based visualisation of investment risk for ESG assets to increase their liquidity post COVID-19

对许多人来说，可持续发展（ESG）资产仍然是新事物，很难理解其风险和复杂性。因此，毫不奇怪，欧盟在其雄心勃勃的欧盟绿色协议中把透明度放在首位。许多其他专家认为，这是可持续地增加这一资产类别流动性的唯一途径。然而，规则和条例方面的透明度还不够。在销售时，投资者和独立财务顾问（IFA）之间仍然对可持续资产的相关风险存在大量混淆。这导致对ESG资产的投资减少，剥夺了该行业急需的流动性，无法发挥其对社会的积极潜力。GreenBolt将在现有的Bolt Markets平台上为IFA使用数字技术和专有算法，以透明，合规且易于理解的方式，以便IFA更好地为客户提供建议，并为该资产类别带来更多流动性。该项目旨在加速英国的ESG投资，帮助政府实现其可持续发展目标，并为投资者提供更好的多样化和回报。

For many, sustainable (ESG) assets are still new and its hard to understand their risks and complexities. Thus, it comes to no surprise that the European Union puts transparency above all else in its ambitious EU Green Deal. Many other experts agree that this is the only way to sustainably increase liquidity for this asset class. However, this transparency with respect to rules and regulations is not enough.At the point of sale, between the investor and the Independent Financial Advisor (IFAs) there is still ample confusion about the risks associated with sustainable assets. This leads to less investments in ESG assets depriving the sector of the much-needed liquidity and not letting it fulfil its positive potential for society.GreenBolt will use digital technology and proprietary algorithms on the existing Bolt Markets platform for IFAs to visualise the risk associated with new sustainable investment assets in a transparent, regulatory-compliant and easy to understand way in order for IFAs to better advise their clients and to drive more liquidity into this asset class.This project aims to accelerate ESG investments in the UK, help the government achieve its sustainability goals and provide better diversification and returns for investors.
