| ESG concerns dominate The home page of the oh so green Wealth Adviser site is dominated by ESG stories this week. Harriet O’Brien spoke to Quilter’s Andy Miller about the firm’s new client profiler tool which has revealed that 56 per cent of clients want ESG to play a role in their investments, with 12 per cent choosing portfolios dedicated to responsible investing and 44 per cent wanting to take ESG factors into account in their investment selection. Meanwhile 44 per cent of the company’s clients are merely aware of ESG.
Meanwhile, our In My Opinion this week comes from Maryna Chernenko, Managing Director of UFG Capital, who writes that even though we are at the early stages of impactful investing and there are lots of challenges for asset managers lying ahead, the future path of the balance between portfolio profitability and sustainability is clear already.
She writes: "Although once just a
theoretical concept, ESG is today a reality that asset managers must address as strategically important."
