Key highlights

• The explosive growth of ESG and sustainable investing Assets that follow environmental, social and governance principles (ESG) are on track to surpass $53 trillion by 2025, which represents more than a third of the $140.5 trillion in projected AuM. This is up 40 percent from the $37.8 trillion in 2021 and a 130 percent jump compared to 2016.

• Investing in greater good without sacrificing higher returns Research consistently shows that sustainability themes can generate excellent investment opportunities. They outperform “traditional” strategies across markets and tend to fare better in market downturns, providing a source of resilience against future market shocks.

• Sustainable investing and private equity Many fund managers are embracing ESG principles not only as a risk mitigation mechanism but also as a potent driver of value creation, with the capacity to generate a substantial premium at the exit. Studies show that sustainable companies are, on average, simply more attractive.
