There is a convergence of 2 major events driving the rapidly growing Sustainable, Impact, and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Investing trend:
1) Over the next several decades, it is predicted that tens of trillions of dollars will transfer to women and millennials, most of whom are greatly interested in Sustainable, Impact, and ESG Investing.1
2) A recent report by the Business & Sustainable Development Commission estimates that achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) could also open up $12 trillion of market opportunities in food, agriculture, cities, energy, materials, health, and well-being, while creating 380 million new jobs by 2030.2
