Regulation
Amid inconsistent disclosures, misleading information
about companies’ positive environmental impact
(greenwashing), and no recognized framework, it is
likely that a push for regulation will drive global
sustainability standards
Capabilities
Advisors need capabilities to determine precise
client portfolio ESG scores to recommend products
that align with client preferences and risk appetite
Data
Clients are demanding more data
around sustainability for comprehensive
investment decision making
While SI was gaining ground even before COVID-19 (a 2020 wealth trend), the pandemic accelerated
the movement, forcing WM firms to build capabilities to meet rising demands
Sustainable investing is
becoming more popular,
and favorable policies
toward companies that
practice social and
environmental goodwill
may continue to attract
investments long after the
pandemic
