Investing for Impact

While the global economy is significantly behind schedule on achieving ‘net zero’, the phenomenal growth of ESG assets has done little to slow the advance of human-driven global warming.

Impact investing aims to generate positive, measurable real-world change — particularly in combating the climate crisis — while also providing financial returns. Investing for impact is crucial to help emerging markets ensure a just and rapid transition to net-zero, with increased sustainability delivering attractive returns for investors.
