At Invesco, we approach ESG investing in two ways:
- The firm's investment teams are working to integrate ESG factors into their investment processes. Invesco looks at the potential impact of the E, the S and the G on the performance of any investment. This is a value analysis that can also help align investments with client values. The firm's aiming for all of its teams to be fully integrated by the end of 2023.
- The firm offers a growing range of investment products that enable its clients to express their values in ways that may drive portfolio value. With Invesco's comprehensive range of capabilities, clients can incorporate ESG-aligned ETFs, mutual funds, SMAs and custom indexes into their portfolios.
"Invesco has a strong, time-tested ESG track record, with some products exceeding more than 15 years in the market," said DiLorio. "We work hard to understand our clients' investment needs, which is central to our ability to deliver differentiated products that meet market demand."
To reinforce our commitment to ESG this year, Invesco has accomplished the following:
- Increased its ESG AUM to
$52.7 billion as of June 30, 2021. - Recently signed the Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, joining other asset managers to support the global goal of reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 or sooner.
