Claire is an actuary with 20 years’ experience spanning investment, pensions and sustainability.
She is head of responsible investment at LCP, helping LCP’s clients to include environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in their investment processes, with the aim of delivering sustainable long-term financial returns.
