In the past, performance of their investments was generally all that mattered to most investors. However, a new breed of investors has now put consideration of ‘ESG’ (“Environmental, Social, and Governance’) criteria as a key component. As Millennials and Generation Z investors continue to increase their economic impact, investment bank Deutsche Bank estimates that by the year 2030, a whopping 95% of all managed assets will incorporate some consideration of ESG factors. Just two years ago, in 2018, that figure was only 33%. (Chart from visualcapitalist.com, data from Deutsche Bank)
