Dialshifter

Dialshifter – investment professionals, shifting the dial from brown to green

We announced ‘Dialshifter’ at our annual conference in 2019, however it has taken longer than intended to become fully fledged for a number of reasons.

We remain committed to developing our Dialshifter programme as we believe it is important to focus on how investors can help ‘shift the dial’ on environmental and social issues.

Progress so far

‘Dialshifter statements’ can now be found on many of the fund entries on Fund EcoMarket (launched Q2 2023).

These statements explain how different fund management companies and individual funds are helping to shift the dial, and their support for net zero.

You can find funds that have supplied Dialshifter statement by scrolling down to the Corporate area and using the  ‘Responsible Ownership – What and How’ > Transparency filter on the Fund EcoMarket database.

About the Dialshifter logo

We have changed our logo, and aim to roll out a generic version of the logo for wider use soon.

Our aim is to help fund managers, wealth managers and financial advisers have conversations with clients about how investors can help shift the dial from a brown, polluting, linear economy to a cleaner, fairer, circular and more sustainable economy.

The logo design, and most importantly where the dial is pointed, is important.

We are in a transition period at present.  Our aim is to encourage conversations that are both positive and realistic. We want people to understand risks, opportunities and complexities – as well as urgency. Our aim is to encourage and support conversations that are open and honest, avoiding both under and over statement.

The sign up forms below were created in 2019.  They will be updated shortly.

On a Journey

Dialshifter, like other work aimed at driving positive change, will develop over time.

The services we offer are based on 30 years of working in this area – during which time much has changed.

Our work is driven by the desire to encourage progress that benefits people and the planet – and therefore investors.

We remain comfortable with the fact that opinions and strategies will continue to differ – whilst believing the sustainability bar must be raised in all areas.
