Sustainable Investments
In Europe, there are nearly 2,000 self-proclaimed Sustainable and Responsible Investment (SRI) funds. However, there is no universal norm that guarantees the extra-financial quality of these funds’ approaches. At BNP Paribas Wealth Management, our SRI team’s role is to select the best SRI funds based on extra-financial criteria to create an offering for private clients.
