Full biography here.
Despite a complicated market environment and decreasing assets in the first half of 2022, 49% of asset managers across Europe consider environmental, social, and governance (ESG) marketing a very important element of their overall marketing efforts. Looking ahead to the next 12 to 24 months, 76% of managers believe that ESG’s importance will grow either slightly or significantly and just 2% anticipate a reduction in its importance.
More than one-quarter (29%) of marketing executives at European asset managers consider building or enhancing their firms’ ESG reputation a strategic priority for the next two years. Asset managers’ sales departments have a similar focus—51% of managers see the need for a strong ESG proposition as a very important driver of change within sales teams. In addition, 47% report that ESG capability has been a key topic of their discussions with clients this year.
Cerulli believes that asset managers that have highly specialized ESG offerings and can combine clear and tailored ESG-related communication with strong compliance and reporting features will stand out in the long term.
