1 Sustainable Investing Capabilities of Private Banks DIY Questionnaire for Private Investors Center for Sustainable Finance and Private Wealth
2 What is this questionnaire for? As a private investor interested in sustainable investing (SI), it can be challenging to find the right bank. In our research and training, we see wealth owners asking us what capabilities their private bank has, and other banks have, or should have, in regard to sustainable investing. Thus, we started the Sustainable Investing Capabilities of Private Banks project and have developed a framework, applied it to 16 private banks in Europe, and published the results in a report. Content This questionnaire is a spin-off result of the report. It is an adjusted version of the questionnaire we have used to map out SI capabilities of banks to the use of private investors. Each question is accompanied with a checklist and a good/bad practice to guide the private investor once banks have replied. We hope this assists the private investor understand the bank better and foster further development of sustainable investing in wealth management. Questions on sustainable investing vision Questions on sustainable investing offering Questions on sustainable investing service
