Sustainable investing has now reached a tipping point. 

Morgan Stanley’s bi-annual Sustainable Signals survey, published in May, interviewed 110 asset owners from North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region and found that the majority recognize that considering environmental, social and governance policies will be standard business practice.

Some, 57% said they foresee a time when they will only allocate to third-party investment managers with a formal ESG policy. 

That’s encouraging news, although not much had changed since Morgan Stanley’s previous report in 2018.
