The sustainable investing market is set to expand from roughly $23 trillion AUM in 2016 to approximately $40 trillion by 2020, driven by mounting evidence that ESG performance is linked to financial performance and increased interest from new customers and regulators.
As the market evolves, investors’ demands for ESG data and products are changing. Asset owners are demanding ESG data to inform their strategies and ensure that what their clients invest in today will benefit them long term. Firms are also looking for proof that sustainable investments are also sound investments – to ensure that they do right by their end investors and shareholders, as well as do good.
