London, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/23/2022 -- The start of this year saw good news for Impax Asset Management Group, which announced in January that managed assets had surpassed £40 billion for the first time. This figure represents an 11% increase from September 2021 and was growth that was mainly fostered by listed equities. Impax is based in London and is an investor with a very on-trend focus on environmental sustainability. The rise in managed assets has been partly attributed by the company to the clear shift towards environmental protection that took place last year thanks to COP26. The climate conference set out a clear path towards a low carbon economy and the rush to invest more sustainably has been the result. The specific figure for the January increase is £41.35 billion - this is a huge 64% increase for Impax when compared to the figure for January 2021, which was £25.19 billion.

The team at Selby Jennings said, "Little did we know that the pandemic would spark a new chapter for financial services. From ever-evolving regulations, mercurial consumer expectations, digital transformation, to the heightened competition from incumbents and new entrants, financial services verticals evolved at lightning speed – all while in a stage of poised recovery with the need to future-proof operations from additional disruption.
Alongside challenges brought on by the pandemic, financial services in 2021 were gripped by the wider political and socio-economic context that was Brexit, as banks and financial institutions packed their bags to move some, or all, of their operations to cities across Europe. However, Financial Services were one of the few bright spots of the past year, providing fuel to the economy and scaling up in a time where many sectors wouldn't take the risk. 2022 is already shaping up to be a record-breaking year in terms of talent movement, and we can't wait to help clients secure that world-class talent."
