SMU, Imperial College London float green finance research hub

It is supported by MAS and nine founding partners.

The Lee Kong Chian School of Business at Singapore Management University (SMU) and the London-based Imperial College Business School have launched the Singapore Green Finance Centre (SGFC), the country’s first research hub for green finance and talent development.

The SGFC is supported by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and nine founding partners, namely Bank of China, BNP Paribas, Fullerton Fund Management, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, Schroders, Standard Chartered, Sumitomo Mitsui, and UBS.

It will be jointly led by Professor David Fernandez, director of SMU’s Sim Kee Boon Institute for Financial Economics, and Dr Charles Donovan, professor of practice and executive director of the Centre for Climate Finance and Investment at Imperial College Business School.

The SGFC will draw on the strengths of Imperial and SMU in climate science, financial economics, and sustainable investing, and will courses across undergraduate, post-graduate levels, continuing and professional education.

It will also pursue foundational and multi-disciplinary research to help develop strategies for policy makers and financial institutions to support Asia’s transition to low carbon.
