Great insights from @RIAANews 2022 benchmark report released today, showing that #responsibleinvestment products continue to outperform the overall market in the multi-asset category on all timeframes as well as the domestic equity category.

[RIAA @RIAANews]

RIAA's Estelle Parker says via @theage that “there’s been a lot of high-profile cases recently where investors are advocating, for example, for strong #climate transitions, or they’re advocating for better attention to environmental and social issues."

Does the quality of #ESG integration matter? YES.
New research shows asset managers with an average PRI assessment score of >=A have monthly inflows 23bps higher than those with no rating or that are not signatories (averaging an annual inflow of US$15m per signatory), cet par.

[Mikael Homanen @MikaelHomanen]

Asset owners should reward asset managers who integrate ESG. But do they?

Quick answer: Yes. Check out academic paper here https://t.co/nShqfOWpWs and thread below 👇 @PRI_News
