Macquarie on the asset class expected to accelerate into a "multi-decade growth opportunity"

One of the knocks on investments with green credentials is that returns have to be sacrificed at the expense of their ESG credentials. But that no longer needs to be the case, according to Elise Vaudour, Head of Wealth at Macquarie Asset Management Green Investments. "Investors would have had to choose [in the past] between financial performance and delivering green impact. “The way we invest, because we invest in business models and businesses that are delivering clean energy, they actually go hand in hand”, says Vaudour. This is a welcome outcome for those investors who wish to marry suitable performance with positive impact, in this fast-growing market.
