Sustainable Investing and Environmental Markets: Opportunities in a New Asset Class

摘要

Many commodity traders have found success in being trend followers. Not many have done so by being trend-setters, but you can count Richard Sandor among the few. Sandor's glittering resume includes developing the first financial futures contract in the 1970s, the concept of environmental markets in the 1980s and the introduction of the first sulfur dioxide (SO2) auction in the 1990s, which led to the cap-and-trade markets in carbon, nitrogen and other emissions markets. In his spare time Sandor founded the Chicago Climate Exchange to trade weather-related and environmental markets, and his current project, Environmental Financial Products. He also maintains academic affiliations (currently teaching at the University of Chicago) and has written other books.
