Our research asked investors to consider what role sustainability plays in their personal investments, pensions and stock trading, and what they understand when presented with the wide variety of ESG labels used by financial services providers.
The research highlights that, while some people hold financial returns as their only objective for investing, there is clearly a growing group who are looking to see their sustainable beliefs reflected in the way their money is managed.
The fund management industry now faces the issue of giving investors the level of information they need to find funds that invest in line with their priorities, in an accessible and easy-to-understand manner – current labels and descriptions are not yet sufficient and with an increasing number of investors threatening to vote with their feet, addressing this critical communications challenge must be a key focus for the industry.
