OpenFinance Network

March 30, 2018

Today's global financial markets were shaped over decades of interactions between various participants and stakeholders in the industry. Markets are comprised of complex networks of internal systems and service providers that support the processing of hundreds of millions of financial transactions each day. This mix of internal and external systems was not created through intentional architecture and design, but through a painstaking integration process that resulted in the current flow of assets, information and data across markets and regions. While not perfect, the current construct is a finely practiced dance among market participants that creates the public financial markets as we know them today.

This transition is leading to variations in the scale and growth of sustainable investment in different regions, according to GSIA. Many regions continue to see strong growth in sustainable investment assets under management – most notably Canada, the United States and Japan. Other regions are slowing down their rate of growth or have seen a reported reversal – in particular Europe and Australasia.
