The outbreak of the global epidemic in 2020 has led to a rapid redistribution of global funds. From January to November 2020, up to US$288 billion of funds flowed into mutual funds and index equity funds (ETFs) related to sustainable development, compared with 2019.  Growth soared 96%* for the year.  Suddenly, the pandemic has not only changed the way we think about pandemics, but it has also accelerated global investors' awareness of the importance of sustainable investing.
With the U.S. government's recent commitment to rejoin the Paris Agreement, it means that 127 countries, which account for more than 60 percent of global carbon emissions, are considering or are already implementing their net-zero commitments.  This trend will continue to intensify in 2021 and beyond, with profound implications for the global economy and the performance of your assets. Is your portfolio already allocated to focus on capturing the investment opportunities created by the transition to a low-carbon economy and supporting a low-carbon world with your investments?
