A good reality check on the EV market: “In the U.S., battery electric vehicles currently account for nearly 10% of all new car sales. Add in plug-in hybrids, an increasingly popular option, and that market share jumps above 14%. That far surpasses earlier projections for where the industry would be by this point. Over a decade ago—when the Environmental Protection Agency finalized its first-ever greenhouse gas emissions standards for light-duty vehicles—experts assumed that, in the most ambitious scenario, EVs could reach 3% of new vehicle sales by 2025.” https://lnkd.in/gbYsrM6k

“About 80% of the wealth held today is going to be in motion,” Chayce Horton, the lead author of the Cerulli report, said in an interview. “The ratio of wealth expected to be changing hands in the next 25 years is significant, and much greater than what we even saw a decade ago.” A huge #risk for some wealth management firms. A huge #opportunity for others. We hear many stories from financial advisors about how #sustainable investing solutions help keep the inheritors of #wealth at their firm. https://lnkd.in/gKzW-Fa3

"A new report, commissioned by the International Chamber of Commerce, estimates that climate-related extreme weather events have cost the global economy more than $2 trillion over the past decade." Some financial professionals say that considering climate-related factors in the investment process is outside of their fiduciary duty. Given the abundance of data emerging, like this study from the ICC, investors may be able to claim that ignoring the issue is the real violation of that duty. https://lnkd.in/geMPnE9G.

Interesting article. Our reactions below, but we would be curious to hear what others think about the author's take on the sustainable investing industry. ▶️ The practice of investing capital to effect positive change dates back to the Quakers. It seems a bit hyperbolic to expect it will not last the next four years. ▶️ The election was not the catalyst for firms in the #ESG and sustainable, responsible, and impact (#SRI) space to rethink their messaging. Market forces, such as increased competition and slowing demand, started that process years ago. ▶️ Contrary to the author's position, we believe it's more likely that SRI messaging will resonate with investors in the coming years. When people see policy changes they disagree with, they seek other avenues to express their values. This explains the surge in SRI #investments under Trump and the rise of the anti-ESG movement under Biden. https://lnkd.in/gNkusRFk

The $300B pledged at #COP29 may be insufficient to help developing nations cope with #climatechange, and developing countries may fall short of their commitments. But ultimately, more and more capital is being allocated to climate adaptation, setting up a secular growth theme for decades to come. https://lnkd.in/gAgCaE6N
