ESG funds in Asia have doubled their global market share as political and regulatory upheavals slow inflows for environmental, social and governance investing in the US and Europe.
Asia funds posted net inflows of 15% in 2022, compared with just 4% globally, Barclays Plc analysts including Dave Dai wrote in a note. That doubled Asia’s ESG fund market share to 4%, from 2% at the end of 2020, they said.
