What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Steve Williams, head of fixed income at Amova Asset Management, commented on the challenges facing sustainable assets during a recent industry discussion. He noted that ESG-focused funds recorded net outflows of £4.8bn in 2023 and £3.5bn in 2025 alone. Williams argued that while the backlash against ESG was noticeable, it was primarily concentrated in the equity space, not the fixed income universe.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The pullback from sustainable funds has continued into 2026, with responsible funds reportedly shedding money each month. This trend contrasts with the performance of the ICE BofA Green Bond index, which was up 7.7% over three years, compared to only 3.1% for the common global bond index.
