Why impact investing influences institutional rotation: Large-cap ESG stocks in the Dow Jones saw an average of $500M net inflow in May, marking the strongest monthly rotation into sustainable assets since tracking began. For clients who choose Impact Investing, there tends to be a level of satisfaction about putting their money to work for something larger than themselves. I think of so many of us who live near Lake Tahoe, and what a treasure our lake is! The idea of protecting the lake from pollution and other types of harm is compelling to me as a local resident, so I choose to take various actions to support that. Impact Investing is one such action. To emphasise her point, Kuiper cites Triodos Investment Management's activities in the field of child welfare, based in part on the Child-Lens Framework developed in cooperation with UNICEF. "The welfare of children is closely linked to the flexibility that employers offer parents. That is why we engage in discussions with companies about family-friendly policies, such as childcare at work. This is how you achieve concrete, meaningful impact." Why impact investing is now embedded in fixed-income strategies: Green bond issuance reached $80B in Q2 2024, 32% higher YoY. Credit rating agencies note lower default risk among issuers with strong ESG governance.
