Triodos Investment Management’s Post

In 2023, Triodos Investment Management’s assets under management increased to EUR 5.7 billion (end of 2022: EUR 5.5 billion). Compared to the year-end figures of 2022, the total volume of the assets under management increased by 2.8%. Dick van Ommeren, Chair of the Management Board of Triodos Investment Management: “While we are pleased to see our assets under management have returned to an upward trend in 2023, we must also acknowledge that the past year brought challenges. Investor sentiment remained on the cautious side, especially in terms of direct investments in sustainable projects and companies. However, it remains vital that we also continue to invest in unlisted initiatives that are at the forefront of the sustainable transition. Only by combining both listed and direct investments can we really make a difference from the perspective of positive impact.”

ESG factors are now integral to the investment and risk decisions of large institutional investors such as super funds, although some hurdles remain for ESG to achieve its full potential, including the quality and integrity of the data needed to help inform those investment calls. But ultimately, the only thing that really matters is member outcomes, and that can’t be measured in investment terms alone. This Investment Magazine roundtable is hosted in partnership with Northern Trust Asset Management.
