Value of ESG funds in China 2017-2021, by type
In 2021, the value of EDG funds in China amounted to almost 400 billion yuan. In the same year, over 64 billion yuan in new funds were launched and the number of ESG funds increased from 92 to 160. This is partly due to the Chinese government working on aligning domestic standards with the global financial market, which makes the products more appealing to investors.
