Key takeaways
1
ESG investors are hungry for more
• Sustainability’s impact has been perceived by clients as a threat not only for environment and society, but also for their portfolio, especially among Millennials. • Non ESG-investors start shifting towards ESG investing. In general, the number of ESG investors has increased by +5% between 2020 and 2021. • There is room for more as 71% of surveyed clients plan to increase their ESG exposure in the next 12 months. This represents an attractive opportunity for advisors.
2
The “S” is becoming the new “E”
• Climate change represents the primary concern as well as the most investable megatrend now.
• Yet younger generations show more knowledge and interest on the “S” of ESG.
• The social dimension represents the next megatrend supported by younger generations.
3
Upping your ESG game
• The majority of clients trust their advisors and believe they know something about ESG.
• However, the clients still see great room for improvement and consider this to be the main barrier to investing more into ESG solutions. • Advisors need to step up their game not only by improving their ESG know-how, but providing clients with simple messages and MiFID-eligible ESG solutions.
