There’s no question: ESG is becoming increasingly pivotal in the decision-making process for investors. But how much of a factor is it? 

What are the most common challenges, biases, and potential solutions for financial advisors in selecting ESG products for their clients?  

The paper "Mapping the ESG maze" explores how investors are navigating the dynamic, and sometimes complex realm of ESG investments. It delves into the factors which influence decision-making and examines the cognitive biases which may unknowingly impact investors choices.


The study "Decoding ESG selection" explores the dynamics of integrating ESG factors into the investment advisory process and how advisors can build cutting-edge portfolios that align with clients' ESG preferences. It takes a look at how these dynamics have changed in recent years, supported by concrete data points that are useful to have at your fingertips.
