23.01.2022 One of the many lessons from the ongoing #COVID19 pandemic is that responsible investors have navigated recent tumultuous markets much more strongly than those ignoring this trend.

LGS is a certified responsible investor, and we believe that this approach minimises risk, generates better long-term returns, and is in line with our members' interests. https://www.afr.com//opinion-responsible-investment-prevai #responsibleinvesting #investment #superannuation
