A new report has found climate, adult content and human rights abuses are some of the major issues being increasingly “screened” by fund managers in the rapidly growing responsible investment market.   Of the $1.56 trillion total assets professionally managed in Australia last year, 55 percent – or $866 billion – were managed using a responsible investment approach, up from 44 per cent in 2016, and more than double the 25 per cent figure globally, according to Responsible Investment Association of Australasia’s annual benchmark released today.
