British investors continue to withdraw capital from ESG funds, following the lead of American investors who have also been net sellers of ESG investment products and breaking with investors in other European countries who have generally remained net buyers.

UK investors pulled money from funds focused on environmental, social and governance issues for a fifth straight month in September, fund network Calastone said on Thursday.

UK investors took 485 million pounds ($589.4 million) from ESG equity funds, with around half of the redemptions coming from North American ESG funds, Calastone said in a statement.[1]
