ESG 2024: Is client demand being served effectively?

Interest in ESG is reportedly on the rise, particularly among the new generations entering the market. Approximately 21% of the industry does not target ESG in any capacity, suggesting a potential revenue stream in this unexplored market segment.

Firms are generating significant organic inflows for each front office professional when ESG is central to their investment strategies. This strong performance speaks for itself, and the demand continues to surge. More firms should step into this space to seize the untapped assets still waiting to be acquired.

With an increasing demand for ESG rising from the ‘new generations’ aged 30 to 45, firms have the opportunity to grow organically and expand their reach by diversifying their offerings.

Join us this September for Compeer’s ESG conference to witness in depth presentations and a panel discussion with industry leaders. Through discussions and expert analyses, we will also assess whether these demands are being met effectively, providing valuable insights for industry professionals seeking to better serve their clients
