New global research published this week by Ortec Finance, a provider of risk and return management solutions for professional investors, shows that there has been a big increase in ESG investing.
According to the research, nearly all (98 per cent) wealth managers and financial advisors say that clients are increasing their focus on ESG credentials in their investment portfolios.
The study was carried out by independent research company Pureprofile, interviewing 100 wealth managers and financial advisors located in Canada, the US, the UK, Australia, Germany and Switzerland whose organisations manage around $750 billion of assets for clients.
