ESG fund flows have already nearly matched last year’s record.<\/h3>\n

Sustainable fund flows in the United States continued at a record pace in the second quarter of 2020, with estimated net flows of $10.4 billion. That nearly matched first-quarter flows and brought the total for the first half of the year to $20.9 billion, just shy of the annual record of $21.4 billion in sustainable fund net flows set in 2019. Last year’s flows were 4 times the previous record for a calendar year. (above)<\/em><\/p>\n

Flows are estimated for 315 sustainable open-end and exchange-traded funds available to U.S. investors. The group includes equity, fixed-income, allocation, and alternatives funds that have an ESG, impact, or sustainable sector focus. Funds of funds are not included in this group.<\/p>\n

Most of the quarter’s flows came as equity markets rebounded in April. Investors poured $5.8 billion into sustainable funds in April, almost all of it to equity funds. It was the largest monthly flow ever recorded for sustainable funds in the U.S.<\/p>\n
