A Global Recession? Think Twice
Central banks are prepared to do what it takes to smash inflation, raising concern over whether their measures will tip us into a global recession.
Per saperne di piùESG investing takes into account fundamental concepts related to sustainability as well as aspects specifically relevant for investors. As established guidelines used to evaluate investments taking a forward-looking view, ESG criteria have proven themselves, both from a risk perspective and in terms of return expectations – valid for investments emanating from the G7 to the emerging markets.
Relevant for your clients: The new era of “ESG-Investing”
Companies with good ESG ratings are more than just a “goodwill” investment today. Our experience has shown that ESG products perform on a par with comparable indices. In addition, they are a proven tool for including even long-term risks in investment decisions.

Time to shine with your ESG knowledge – as a bank or as an External Asset Manager (EAM)
When it comes to ESG, many of your clients are most likely grappling with a not insignificant knowledge gap. This is exactly what gives you the unique opportunity to position yourself with ESG expertise ahead of your competition.
“ESG monitoring has also developed into a tool for checking return expectations.” |
The reason: Investors who evaluate potential investments according to ESG criteria take into account not only economic considerations, but also how well (or badly) a company is managed, or how its actions are affecting society and the environment. This directs their attention to developments that will have a lasting impact – and thus also to developments that have the potential to generate long-term returns.
