“We expect that this survey will provide asset owners with a greater understanding of the trends and competitive forces around ESG factors in emerging markets. We are very pleased to be working with Mercer, a proven leader in responsible investment.”
The project will run for about 12 months and has three major components. First, Mercer will undertake a global survey of equity managers operating in emerging markets, including those based in developed countries, to review their approaches to ESG factors.
Second, there will be an in-depth review of mainstream equity managers in Brazil, China, India, and South Korea to assess the extent to which they are assessing ESG risks or opportunities. Third, the project will assess the range of “sustainable investment” branded funds that are offering emerging market products and their total assets to date.
