AFG methodological note on data collection
In reporting sector data covering the Observatory's four themes for asset management, the AFG drew on multiple sources:
- Annual survey on responsible investment statistics, published in July 2022:
The AFG collected information from its member asset management companies on their responsible investment (RI) management activities in 2021.
The sample is composed of 81 asset management companies representing 71 responses to the questionnaire (some asset management companies responded for all the companies in the group).
The asset management companies in the sample manage a total of €3,869 billion in mutual funds and management mandates.
The number of responding asset management companies varies from one year to the next, with only 54 responding to the two surveys conducted in 2020 and 2021.
- SRI Label
The AFG contributes to promoting the government's SRI Label and maintains a dedicated website for doing so.
Figures pertaining to SRI label statistics are drawn from this source.
- Ministry for the Ecological Transition
Figures for the Greenfin Label come from the website of the Ministry for the Ecological Transition:
- Finansol
Figures for inclusivity-based funds come from Finansol, an institution dedicated to inclusivity-based savings
