Why Sustainable Strategies Matter
|
|
The Way of the Future
Four in five investors remained focused on sustainable investing during the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, 79% of all individual investors and 99% of all Millennial investors said they were interested or somewhat interested in sustainable investing. 1 |
Performance
A growing body of research suggests that ESG investing does not require a tradeoff in performance, and there is evidence it may enhance returns (for example, by avoiding the blowups that can occur from an environmental disaster or irresponsible corporate governance). |
Business Development
Impact investing is a fast-growing area of focus for advisors serving the UHNW category. ESG funds in particular are gaining increasing market share as wealthy families look to align investments with their values and those of their heirs. |
Fast Growth
Investors continue to pour money into this area. Assets in sustainable investing grew 42% from 2018-2020, reaching more than $17 trillion in the US and $35.3 trillion globally. 2 |
