In Europe, industry data related to a broader range of ESG practices suggests the level is over USD 17 trillion. Due to institutional and retail investors desire for pooled investments and liquidity, ESG investment fund and ETF has grown to over USD 1 trillion in the US, and less so in Europe and Asia.’
