2021 ESG Survey

ESG investors are hungry for more. An opportunity to seize.

The majority of European investors currently invested in ESG (72%) are satisfied with the performance of their ESG investments. This high level of satisfaction is further supported by the three-quarters (76%) who have increased allocations to ESG over the last 12 months and the 71% who plan to do so within the coming 12 months. In line with these findings, 78% say ESG will continue to play an important role in portfolios in addition to rising interest in the non-financial impact of their investments (71%).

Millennial investors report higher performance satisfaction and are the most likely to have increased their allocations in the past 12 months (80%). Generation X are those who most intend to raise their allocations in the coming year (75%), followed closely by Millennials (74%). This data reinforces the narrative which reveals stronger ESG investment sensibilities within these groups.
