Emit Capital Asset Management recognised as a Responsible Investment Leader

Emit Capital Asset Management has been named a Responsible Investment Leader by the Responsible Investment Association Australasia (RIAA) in its landmark 22nd annual study launched today. This recognises our commitment to responsible investing and attributes as an investment manager.

The Responsible Investment Benchmark Report 2023 study shows that the portion of Australian assets managed using a rigorous, leading approach to responsible investment reached 36% totalling $1.3 trillion in 2022.

Financial markets in Australia are fully embracing ESG and responsible investment. The report shows 93% of the professionally managed funds worth $3.3 trillion are managed by investors that have made public commitments to responsible investment, revealing a market in transition toward a new state of maturity, whereby only 36% or $1.3 trillion of these total assets are being managed in a way that can demonstrate a leading approach to responsible investment.

Global markets have moved rapidly to lift expected standards of practice in responsible investment in the last two years and Australia is no exception. A new threshold for Responsible Investment Leaders has led to 54 fund managers being named as Responsible Investment Leaders, and 23 fund managers awarded the new Responsible Investor designation by RIAA.

Overall, 77 fund managers have been able to attain the high standards of responsible investment against RIAA’s scorecard this year as compared to 74 in 2021.
