ESG’s Imprint on Institutional Investing

Managing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations has become a key priority for asset managers and asset owners. There has been a recognisable global shift, as investment businesses position themselves for a future where ESG is embedded in decision-making and investment practices. However, asset managers and asset owners are still determining what the future holds for risk and performance related impacts to their portfolios.

Earlier this year, in partnership with and PwC, we conducted a global ESG market study of institutional investor clients to explore attitudes, future needs and preferences, as well as key trends and implications for businesses. The study reveals the challenges in becoming a leader in ESG investment landscape, trends shaping the ESG market space, and how to seek opportunities in the industry despite the adversities of evolving regulations, regional differences and the fast pace of digital innovations.

Download our latest whitepaper to learn more about influential considerations investors are looking at when evaluating ESG options.
