    [SINGAPORE] Is sustainable investing on the rise or in retreat? It depends on which data set you examine.

    Morningstar Sustainalytics’ data on inflows and returns from sustainable investments paints a negative picture. Amundi Asset Management’s data is somewhat more optimistic.

    Fund flows data from Morningstar reflects net outflows from global sustainable funds in 2025 of US$84 billion, compared to net inflows of US$38 billion in 2024.
