Didn't see any coverage on this, but the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative has now gone partially dark, taking their signatory page down, starting a "review of the initiative," and suspending compliance/monitoring of companies.

But it DOES matter for insurance.
Insurers doing more business in the US were much more likely to defect than their peers. That difference didn't matter for banking and asset management.

However, we might consider differences in vulnerability masked by overall trends.
I analyze whether companies with greater exposure to Republican governance (either US-headquartered or with more US subsidiaries) are more likely to defect.
On average, it doesn't change things... (4/8)

The short answer: partially.
If we look at GFANZ's corporate initiatives (NZAMI, NZIA, NZBA), the scale of defections didn't outweigh NEW memberships once initiatives were targeted.
The NZIA is an exception since losing half of its membership led the initiative to close up shop (3/8)

This is a map of voter turnout in Centre County, PA. All of the bluest areas near Penn State had terrible turnout compared to the red, surrounding rural areas. Shockingly low engagement from the student community.

I'll be presenting at @apsa.bsky.social tomorrow, 12pm, in the Marriott Salon B! Some great papers on finance. Don't miss out on this chance to see me reinvent the wheel and present obvious results in public

I argue that the way we interpret the epistemological foundations of policy and governance problems depends on one's political and economic standpoint (implying certain policies). Because finance is inescapably interlinked with "climate forcing assets", reckoning w/ uncertainty is made untenable
