\u201cSustainable investing is now a familiar part of the investment landscape for many Canadians,\u201d said Fate Saghir, SVP, Sustainability at Mackenzie Investments. \u201cThe next phase is helping investors better understand how these strategies support long-term financial outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Interest in sustainability is being fueled in part by evolving climate research, with nearly one-third of respondents saying new scientific developments increase their likelihood of considering such investments. At the same time, portfolio intentions are shifting, with a growing share of investors aiming to allocate a significant majority of their holdings to sustainable strategies.<\/p>\n
But skepticism remains with more than four in 10 respondents believing that sustainable investments could deliver weaker returns, underscoring lingering concerns about performance.<\/p>\n
The disconnect is even more pronounced when it comes to the energy transition. While 61% of Canadians believe investing in the shift toward lower-carbon energy will benefit future generations, only a small fraction report understanding the specifics of how to invest in it.<\/p>\n
Roughly two-thirds recognize that the transition presents investment opportunities, and 63% view it as a significant long-term theme. Yet 45% say they lack sufficient knowledge about its scope or how to access those opportunities through their portfolios.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cSustainable investing is now a familiar part of the investment landscape for many Canadians,\u201d said Fate Saghir, SVP,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17719,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[17,1880,9068,9067],"class_list":{"0":"post-17718","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-canada","8":"tag-canada","9":"tag-esg","10":"tag-mackenzie-investments","11":"tag-sustainable-investing"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17718","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17718"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17718\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17719"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17718"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17718"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/canada\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17718"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
