Amid ESG backlash, responsible investors are holding on to their commitments
October 24, 2024--While one-fifth of asset managers have dropped the ESG label, more than half still believe the data has value in mitigating risks and boosting returns.
New research from Cerulli Associates reveals that despite increasing political pressures, many institutional investors and asset managers in the US remain committed to responsible investing, though some are adjusting their approach to avoid political scrutiny.
The study, US Responsible Investing 2024, highlights how political backlash against environmental, social, and governance considerations has influenced industry behavior.
The report shows that while some institutional investors are reconsidering their stance on ESG, most are standing firm. About one in 10 asset owners have scaled back their integration of ESG factors due to the heated political climate. One-third of institutions (34 percent) were motivated by concerns about the cost and time involved in responding to political pushback, while others acted out of fear of litigation (24 percent) and stakeholder pressure (14 percent).
