- 600 asset managers evaluated globally on their ability to
translate commitment to responsible investment into their
brand.
- All global Top 10 remain European.
ZURICH, April 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite a
challenging investment environment in 2023 with fluctuating
financial performances and growing skepticism towards ESG, the
Responsible Investment Brand Index RIBI™ 2024 shows both resilience
and progress of asset managers.
The top category of RIBI Avant-Gardists remains fiercely
competitive, with only 20% of companies globally entering this
coveted category. However, the industry as a whole is moving
forward, with more than 50 asset managers moving out of the
Laggards camp and into one of the other three more advanced
categories.
Whilst 57% of asset managers expressing a purpose statement link
this to societal good, two thirds of these companies still fail to
align their value systems with their purpose statement, leaving a
lot of room for improvement.
The Top 10 global companies achieving the best overall
score
- DPAM
- CANDRIAM
- UBS Asset Management
- Nordea Asset Management
- Pictet Asset Management
- Amundi
- Wheb Asset Management
- Impax Asset Management
- Ecofi
- Robeco
All companies in the global Top 10 remain European, continuing a
broader trend identified in the last edition. The Top 10 are
made up of both large organisations as well as small boutiques. In
other words: consistency in responsible investment and brand
depends on the convictions and beliefs guiding management
decisions, rather than the size of the organisation.
The debate on sustainable investments in the USA (largest
region in number of companies and assets under
management) shows in a widening gap within RIBI.
RIBI includes specific perspectives and a Top 10 ranking on a
country-by-country-level, as well as a focus on boutique managers.
