Investors fail to act on sustainability ambitions: study

Whilst 37% said they want to invest sustainably, only 14% were actually doing it.

Most Singaporean investors still can’t put their money where their mouth is. A report by Schroders showed that whilst 37% said they want to invest sustainably, only 14% were actually doing it.

Singapore joins the global trend in which investors who identify themselves as being expert/advanced were more likely to invest sustainably. About 23% of expert/advanced investors, 9% of intermediate investors, and 5% of beginner level investors indicated that they were already investing sustainably.

The issue on sustainability drives most of Singaporeans’ investment decisions, with 28% ranking it as their top priority, believing that climate change will likely impact their investments (66%).

In terms of generational proportions, Millennials and Gen X in Singapore appear to be more motivated to invest sustainably than their older counterparts, with 65% of millennials saying that they consider sustainability factors, closely followed by Generation X (63%), and with Baby boomers showing to be the least concerned (46%).
