A Legal & General (L&G) survey reveals a growing enthusiasm for impact investing among UK institutional investors, including pension schemes, insurers, and charities. The survey indicates that impact and sustainable mandates are expected to increase from 37% to 45% of private market portfolios within two years. Respondents identified clean and renewable energy as key investment opportunities, with 81% prioritizing this area. Defined contribution pension schemes anticipate the highest allocation to these mandates. The research highlights a shift towards sustainability in investment strategies, driven by the desire for both financial returns and positive social/environmental impact.
