Quand des investisseurs institutionnels montrent la voie pour faire évoluer les gérants
Summary
Reclaim Finance calls on institutional investors in Europe and North America to hold asset managers accountable for climate risks, citing examples of mandate withdrawals and the need for concrete climate selection criteria to prevent global economic losses.
Key insights
- Institutional investors face significant fiduciary risks from climate change, with projections suggesting a potential 50% loss of GDP between 2070 and 2090 and a 40% to 50% drop in global equity values by mid-century.
- Major asset managers continue to support fossil fuel expansion; a study of 30 managers revealed at least $16.9 billion invested in bonds from top fossil fuel developers, with BlackRock and Amundi increasing these investments year-over-year. Additionally, 81% of these managers' votes supported the boards of these companies.
- In 2025, several institutional investors withdrew mandates from asset managers due to sustainability concerns: Dutch pension funds PFZW and PME withdrew from BlackRock; the UK's The People's Pension and Denmark's Akademiker Pension withdrew from State Street; and France's Préfon dereferenced 13 funds, including one from BlackRock.
- Some investors are implementing proactive climate criteria for selecting managers, such as the French insurer MAIF, which refuses new investments with managers lacking a thermal coal phase-out strategy by 2030, and the New York City pension fund controller, who published a list of climate expectations for future mandates.
- Collective actions have increased, including a February 2025 declaration by investors representing $1.5 trillion and a request from financial officers of 17 Democratic US states for managers to reaffirm climate risk management.
