Sustainable investing has become one of the most talked-about areas in financial advice, but also one of the most misunderstood.
In this episode of Foster Denovo Talks, Helena is joined by Gavin Francis, founder of Worthstone, to cut through the noise around sustainable investing and explore what it really means in 2026.
They discuss why sustainability can still feel cliquey, overly technical or politically charged, and why advisers may be missing important client conversations by avoiding the topic altogether.
Gavin shares why sustainable investing is not about being perfect, why it does not need to be an all-or-nothing decision, and how advisers can approach the conversation in a more practical and relevant way.
The conversation also explores performance concerns, investment cycles, client preferences, the great wealth transfer, and why sustainability should be seen as a lens across investment decisions rather than a separate niche.
In this episode:
👉 What sustainable investing really means in 2026
👉 Why sustainability can still feel like a “dirty word”
👉 How advisers can approach client conversations with more confidence
👉 Why performance and cost concerns may be more nuanced than they first appear
👉 How younger generations are shaping client expectations
👉 Why sustainable investing does not have to be all or nothing
👉 How everyday examples, from coffee to chocolate, can make the conversation more relevant
