Supplementary notes

The sustainable investment balances were calculated by avoiding duplication of the investment balances of investment managers and asset owners to the greatest extent possible. However, due to the difficulty of their calculations, the sustainable investment balances by investment management method and asset class are duplications of amounts entrusted to investment managers and amounts entrusted by asset owners. Moreover, multiple answers to the investment management method also contributed to the duplicate amounts, while some institutions did not specify the asset class. As a result, the sum of sustainable investment balance by investment management method and sustainable investment balance by asset class does not amount to the total sustainable investment balance.

100 Japanese yen equal 0.74 U.S. dollars or 0.70 euros as of December 2022.
