Asset and Wealth Managers are having a tough time with ESG.
Regulators are continuously sharpening ESG rules and tweaking definitions, directly impacting Asset and Wealth Managers’ ability to attract and retain customers – and these tightened rules mean many funds risk losing their ESG status and, in turn, clients.
At the same time market volatility, tighter regulations and increased competition means the penalties are getting higher.
And because there’s no standardised cross-industry approach to how vendors assess and rate ESG factors, there simply isn’t enough transparency over how and where they’re applied, making it impossible to consistently differentiate.
Investment managers need a method for applied ESG investing that works beyond ratings. It’s about transparent investment strategies that drive investors towards clear sustainability targets.
To do that, you need to strengthen your own research from sources outside of traditional ratings agencies. Thematic Intelligence holds the key to this.
