Citywire Selector: As listed companies let go of fossil fuel assets amidst growing pressure from shareholders and investors, private equity markets have been filling the financing gap, according to new research from Fitch Ratings.
Citywire Selector: Private equity firms have been eager to show their investors they are taking responsible investing seriously and have stepped up recruitment, but the role of ‘head of ESG’ has not yet become commonplace.
Institutional Asset Manager: Sixty-six per cent of pension funds surveyed intend to increase their allocations to ‘S’ pillar passive funds over the next three years, while 67 per cent will select their passive manager based on their track record of delivery of their clients’ social agenda.

The Asset: While the focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing has been gathering momentum in recent years, 2020 saw the dialogue pivot from interest to allocations, with substantial inflows into a range of ESG products.
