Alex Vidler
@alexvidler
I build sustainable investment strategies, ESG systems, and climate finance products.
What I'm looking for
I lead Vidler & Co, guiding cross-asset portfolio strategy and sustainable finance solutions that balance long-term financial performance with sustainability objectives.
Previously at Périclès Group, I built and implemented a sustainability platform for a major global stock exchange group, developed fund transition plans, and created scalable CSRD mapping for EU disclosure mandates. I also worked with investment teams and fund managers to improve ESG ratings and portfolio sustainability while prioritising investor returns.
At Amplify Trading, I created ESG analysis frameworks, integrated thematic sustainability factors into portfolios, and helped financial institutions establish sustainable practices that contributed to 110% revenue growth. My earlier global macro, trading, and equity research work covered equities, bonds, FX, commodities, and ESG-rated companies.
I enjoy turning fragmented ESG data, emissions, and disclosure requirements into commercially meaningful decisions. I also publish The Sustainability Digest, writing about the themes shaping sustainable investing and finance.
