O'Neill brings ESG cred to Perennial Better Future

Emilie O'Neill, who has been an ESG and sustainability analyst with Perennial Value Management for the last 18 months has moved across to the new ESG-focused fund Perennial Better Future.

Before joining Perennial in 2019, O'Neill spent several years with Morgan Stanley as an equity research analyst covering banks and diversified financials. She also spent time with Acorns Australia (now Raiz Invest). She started her career with an internship with IBM's systems and technology group.

O'Neill is joined at Perennial Better Future by portfolio manager Damian Cottier and business development specialist George Whiting.

Cottier said that this new fund is a chance for Australians to invest for ESG impact. "With the help of the financial advice community, we look forward to bringing a means for everyday investors to contribute to a better future by investing in companies that are helping to solve some of society's biggest challenges."
