The source adds further comments: "Due to European diversity, the wide definition of responsible investment any type of investment process that combines investors’ financial objectives with their concerns about Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues. It will not come as a surprise that High Net Worth Individuals (HNWI), via their advisors (private banks and family offices), represent a strong source of finance for the sector. These investors have no particular formal or regulatory investment constraints to deal with (other than trans-generational wealth preservation), as opposed to most institutional investors and are therefore more open in general to long-term investment with different risk profiles."
