The report, ‘The State of Private Market ESG and Impact Investing in 2024’, was published by PitchBook, a market data provider for the private equity and venture capital markets.

In addition, according to data from Morningstar Direct cited by the FT, launches of environmental, social and governance (ESG)-related funds have been steadily declining, with only six launched in the second half of 2023 compared to an average of nearly 100 a year between 2020 and 2022.
The trend follows a ruling from the SEC in September 2023 that 80% of assets in funds must be related to the name.
