Although U.S. investors started pulling money out of ESG funds over the last several quarters, European money on a net basis continued flowing into ESG investment products in Q4 of 2023:

Sustainable funds in Europe attracted inflows in Q4, but investors pulled $5 billion from U.S. sustainable funds in the last quarter of 2023, for a total of $13 billion over 2023, according to the data.

In Europe, sustainable funds performed better than the broader market and attracted $3.3 billion of net new money in the fourth quarter, thanks to passive funds which collected $21.3 billion, Morningstar said. Europe remained the world’s biggest market for sustainable funds, but the fourth-quarter fund inflows were much lower than the revised $11.8 billion inflows in the previous quarter, per the data.

Meanwhile, outflows from U.S. sustainable funds jumped to $5.1 billion in the fourth quarter, nearly double the restated $2.7 billion outflows in the third quarter.[1]
