Richard Curtis | Make My Money Matter | Ethical Finance 2020
Richard Curtis, director of Love Actually and founder of Comic Relief and pension campaign Make My Money Matter, delivers his humorous, yet serious remarks to the audience on the 4th and final day of Ethical Finance 2020, a virtual summit seeking to change finance for good.
The filmmaker explains the power that ordinary people’s pensions have to do good in the world. Many of us may be unaware that our pensions are even invested at all, let alone the fact that they may be invested in companies involved in sectors such as tobacco, arms or fossil fuel. Together, we have the power to change the world by insisting that our pensions are used for good.

John Kay & James Anderson | Investing & Radical Uncertainty | Ethical Finance 2020
What implications does the concept of radical uncertainty pose for investors? Prof. Heather McGregor speaks to author & economist Prof. John Kay and Baillie Gifford Partner James Anderson to find out in an insightful discussion ranging from the practical to the philosophical.
Uncertainty in this context is a concept developed by John Maynard Keynes and Frank Knight, and refers to events that are by their nature unpredictable. It stands in contrast to risk, which refers to events that, while not certain, can be predicted with a given likelihood. An uncertain event oiled be a pandemic; we know there is a chance that one might occur, but when, where and how seriously is impossible to assign a certain probability to.
