Fidelity bolsters ESG skills

Fidelity International has appointed Sue Lyn Stubbs as a sustainable investing analyst.

Stubbs will focus on ESG engagement and research of sustainable investment thematics.

Reporting to Fidelity Australia's head of sustainable investing, Daniela Jaramillo, she will also work closely with Fidelity's global sustainable investing team to integrate sustainability into investment processes.

Stubbs joins Fidelity from Macquarie Capital, where she was an ESG equity research associate evaluating the largest 300 listed companies in Australia on ESG and sustainability initiatives.

Before working at Macquarie, she was a senior portfolio analyst at an impact investing fund and a senior associate covering equity capital markets at Citigroup Australia.

While there, she carried out more than $10 billion in bespoke equity raisings for listed Australian small caps.

Stubbs' appointment follows a number of recent hires and brings Fidelity's dedicated sustainable Investing team in Asia Pacific to 19 across five markets and 39 globally.

"Sue Lyn will help complement the Australian sustainability capability through her deep research and analytical skills, as well as strategic thinking," said Jaramillo.

"ESG continues to be a top priority at Fidelity. Building out the capability and coverage of our global sustainable investing team both here in APAC and in Europe, signals just how important this is to us as a firm and to our clients."
