Expertise

Professor Krüger's research focuses primarily on sustainable finance. He has, for example, studied whether, how, and why institutional investors incorporate climate risk into investment decisions. His research reveals that institutional investors believe that climate risks have implications for their portfolio and that these risks, in particular regulatory risks, have already begun to materialize. Long-term, larger, and ESGoriented institutional investors consider risk management and engagement—rather than divestment—to be the better approach to tackling climate risks. Further analysis shows that institutional investors not only find climate risk reporting to be as important as traditional financial reporting, but also believe it should be mandatory and better standardized. Professor Krüger actively participates in SFI Knowledge Exchange activities that focus on the topic of responsible investing and broader ESGrelated aspects.
