Edelman | Trust Barometer Special Report: Institutional Investors (US)

The Edelman Trust Barometer Special Report: Institutional Investors reveals new criteria for evaluating investments as well as insights on what drives institutional investor trust in companies. The second annual special report finds that investment criteria are evolving to target areas beyond financial metrics, with a strong focus on corporate culture, ESG investing, and companies’ roles within broader society. The research surveyed more than 500 chief investment officers, portfolio managers, and buy-side analysts in five countries (U.S., Canada, UK, Germany and Japan), representing firms that collectively manage over $4.5 trillion in assets. The report is a supplement to the Edelman Trust Barometer launched annually in January at the World Economic Forum. Visit the Edelman website to download the U.S., UK, and Canada results.
