Do you look at environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors when building a portfolio? 45 percent of advisors overlook these factors.

This statistic shows the registered investment advisor (RIA) industry is not keeping up with what investors want. A 2017 Morgan Stanley study found that 75 percent of the overall population was interested in ESG investments, while 86 percent of Millennials were interested and 38% were very interested in this approach to investing.

Providing clients with a way to integrate ESG investments in their portfolio or even to create an entire portfolio geared toward responsible investments could be the key to attracting and retaining a new generation of investors.
