RIA Platforms

As the demand for sustainable investing continues to grow, large broker-dealer platforms like Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Ameriprise and UBS are meeting this demand by creating their own ESG platforms on behalf of clients.

To stay competitive, RIA practices need to integrate ESG strategies into their investment process. Some of the larger RIA platforms are developing their own ESG model portfolio investment strategies. And because large practices have the people and the structures already set up, they can incorporate sustainable investing quickly and efficiently, without interrupting their normal business cycle.

If you own or manage an RIA platform, there are a number of tools available to help you integrate ESG strategies:

  • The Morningstar ESG Globe Rating System
  • MSCI’s ESG Analytics Platform
  • Industry media like Bloomberg Sustainable Finance Briefs, a bi-monthly publication about sustainable investing throughout the industry
  • Traditional ESG asset managers like Calvert, Impax Asset Management, Trillium Asset Management, and Saturna Capital that can support you with research and product development
  • Partnering with an ESG-focused TAMP (Turnkey Asset Management Program)
