Here are highlights: >>>> >>>> *Rate Moves Coming to an End?* Investor sentiment suggests that a jump >>>> in interest rates is still expected but not for long: A majority of >>>> respondents think interest rates will increase in March, but only 9% expect >>>> 10-year rates to end the month above 1.60%. >>>> >>>> *Central Bank Policy in the Spotlight*. COVID-19 epidemic data and >>>> vaccine developments were by far the primary (and only) variable investors >>>> were watching in past QuickPoll surveys, but focus is now shifting to >>>> central banks and macro indicators. COVID remains top of mind for 39% of >>>> respondents this month, but 33% of investors are now keeping an eye out for >>>> central bank statements and 16% are looking to U.S. economic data. “In our >>>> view, this likely marks the end of the ‘pandemic regime’ for markets and >>>> the beginning of a ‘post-pandemic’ one,” says Oscar Ostlund, head of >>>> content for Marquee, the digital platform for the Global Markets Division. >>>> >>>> *Portfolio Rotation to Inflation-Sensitive Assets*. Investors turned >>>> bearish on gold, the price of which typically falls when real rates >>>> rise—with about 35% of respondents expecting the price to be weakened >>>> further by the end of the month. Meanwhile, investors continue to have a >>>> bullish view on other commodities such as crude and copper. “We’ve seen >>>> many investors shift their views on gold and significantly reduce their >>>> enthusiasm on emerging market equities, which were the second-favorite >>>> asset class last month but have significantly sold off,” Ostlund says. >>>> >>>> *For more information about QuickPoll and Marquee, reach out to the >>>> team >>>> <gs-marquee-sa...@ny.email.gs.com?subject=BRIEFINGS%20Follow-Up%3A%20Interested%20in%20Learning%20More%20About%20Marquee&body=BRIEFINGS%20Follow-Up%3A%20Interested%20in%20Learning%20More%20About%20Marquee.>. >>>> * >>>> Briefly…on the Path to Net-Zero Emissions and Inclusive Growth >>>> <https://tracking.gs.com/r/?id=h11421279,4ec274e4,4ec2ac40> >>>> >>>> Just over a year into Goldman Sachs' 10-year plan to deploy $750 >>>> billion toward accelerating the climate transition and advancing inclusive >>>> growth, the firm has reached a fifth of its target. We sat down with *John >>>> Goldstein*, head of the firm’s Sustainable Finance Group, to discuss >>>> progress, client concerns and the impact of the pandemic on companies’ >>>> sustainability goals. >>>> >>>> *John, soon after the firm announced its sustainability goal in late >>>> 2019, the world went into lockdown. Can you describe how the pandemic >>>> affected companies’ sustainability objectives in 2020? * >>>> >>>> *John Goldstein*: Last year was undoubtedly a year of volatility and >>>> complexity, but the one constant was the growing interest and focus in >>>> sustainable finance and ESG as evidenced by the fact that in 2020 alone we >>>> reached a fifth of our $750 billion 10-year target. The pandemic served as >>>> a stress test for the industry—which it passed with flying colors. The >>>> strong performance of ESG investments during the first-quarter downturn was >>>> rewarded with greater focus and capital flows as the year progressed. In >>>> addition, the pandemic reminded people of how quickly the world can change >>>> and how important these emerging changes can be to portfolios. Factors that >>>> may not have always been incorporated in traditional financial models can >>>> have significant financial impacts. From our perspective, 2020 highlighted >>>> the importance of both elements of our sustainability approach which >>>> focuses on two interconnected themes: climate transition and inclusive >>>> growth. >>>> >>>> *Can you describe the firm’s approach to sustainability—how did you >>>> come to decide on these two themes?* >>>> >>>> *John Goldstein*: When we first announced our sustainability approach >>>> in 2019, people immediately understood the focus on climate transition, but >>>> were less certain about the focus on inclusive growth. Well, 2020 was a >>>> stark reminder that both pillars are essential. The pandemic gave us a >>>> health and employment crisis while highlighting the deeply visible >>>> manifestations of the ongoing racial inequalities, particularly in the U.S. >>>> You could say that the social component of ESG has climbed into the front >>>> seat with the environmental concerns. >>>> >>>> *So let’s talk about how the first year of allocating capital went. How >>>> did the firm approach making its targets a reality?* >>>> >>>> *John Goldstein*: A big part of achieving our goal during the first >>>> year stemmed from the fact that we were able to leverage the strengths >>>> across the organization. Soon after we announced our 10-year target, we >>>> created a new team, the Sustainable Finance Group, to coordinate our >>>> sustainability efforts across the firm. Shortly thereafter, we launched >>>> dedicated sustainability councils within all of our businesses, each led by >>>> a senior leader within the firm, to integrate sustainability solutions into >>>> our work with clients. >>>> >>>> *What's an example? * >>>> >>>> *John Goldstein*: One example I would highlight is the work that we >>>> did with our Global Markets Division where we incorporated ESG data into >>>> the division’s trading capabilities. That in turn helped clients achieve >>>> their ESG goals either broadly or in specific areas, such as lowering their >>>> carbon footprint in their portfolios. We essentially served as a product >>>> incubator within divisions to understand the market need for new strategies >>>> for their clients. The division, in turn, scaled the products and >>>> strategies more broadly. >>>> >>>> *What types of strategies resonated most with clients? * >>>> >>>> *John Goldstein*: Climate solutions were a key focus for clients >>>> across the firm. For example, we’ve worked with our colleagues in the Asset >>>> Management Division to provide growth financing to Swedish manufacturer >>>> Northvolt AB to support the construction of a lithium-ion battery factory >>>> that will expand the market for electric vehicles in Europe. For our public >>>> market investors, we’ve developed ESG strategies in our trading and asset >>>> management businesses and are accelerating global power solutions through >>>> our structuring services in the Global Markets Division. In the Investment >>>> Banking Division, we were part of the largest corporate sustainability bond >>>> for Alphabet; the largest IPO for a solar company, Shoals Technologies; and >>>> helped clients issue more than $35 billion in COVID-19 relief bonds. What >>>> we’ve learned is that there are multiple ways to help clients meet their >>>> decarbonization goals across the firm. In fact, making sustainability a >>>> core commercial focus for us has not only allowed us to scale ESG and >>>> inclusive growth strategies across the breadth and depth of our >>>> organization to meet our clients’ goals, but doing so has also enabled us >>>> to tie it into our own funding strategy as we recently did with the >>>> issuance of our $800 million green bond. >>>> >>>> *Finally, what do you see as the key ESG and sustainability priorities >>>> for companies this year? * >>>> >>>> *John Goldstein*: Investors and corporates are all looking at moving >>>> sustainability considerations from the periphery to the core of their >>>> organizations. That means that for investors, it’s not just about ESG >>>> products—it’s about all of their investing products. It’s not about their >>>> sustainability report—it’s about their annual report. For us, our focus >>>> will continue to remain on incubating and launching new product offerings >>>> within our divisions in partnership with our clients and—in particular—to >>>> accelerate our efforts to work as one firm to meet clients’ needs. >>>> View infographic >>>> <https://tracking.gs.com/r/?id=h11421279,4ec274e4,4ec2ac41> Read GS >>>> CEO David Solomon's statement >>>> <https://tracking.gs.com/r/?id=h11421279,4ec274e4,4ec2ac42> >>>> >>>>
