Over the past four years, no sector has shifted more dramatically than defense. Once constrained by ESG criteria that limited capital flows, the industry has seen defense stocks surge following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2021, alongside massive multiyear investment commitments from European governments. At the same time, ethical considerations have evolved, with a growing argument that investment in defense is essential for the preservation of democracy in Europe.
"This is a pivotal moment for investors weighing both the risks and opportunities in defense," said Jason Wright, senior managing director in the Investigations and Disputes practice at K2 Integrity and moderator of the session. "Our discussion will look at how the geopolitical context is reshaping the sector, and what this means for long-term investment strategies."
Topics will include:
- The drivers behind the surge in European defense investment.
- How the evolving geopolitical landscape is reshaping risk and opportunity.
- The future of ethical and ESG considerations in the defense sector.
Panelists:
- Jason Wright, Senior Managing Director, Investigations and Disputes, K2 Integrity
- Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston, KCB, CBE, former Chief of the Air Staff, Royal Air Force
- Sir Mark Lyall Grant, GCMG, former UK National Security Adviser
This webinar is open to professionals in finance, risk, and policy, and will provide valuable insights for investors and institutions grappling with the evolving defense sector. Registration is now open. Interested participants can secure their spot here.
