The tie-up comes amid rising demand for sustainable and ESG investing in the wealth management space.

According to Swiss Sustainable Finance, ESG and sustainable investment market accounts for more than 30% of all professionally managed investments. It has grown by 62% in 2019 alone.

additive head of strategy Christine Schmid said: “Sustainable investing is a crucial and fast-growing part of the wealth industry. It is also a key area for providers to differentiate themselves.

“Clients want to invest in companies that conform with their values and make an impact, being able to do this accurately and dynamically will set wealth managers apart. It will also help wealth managers to better meet new regulatory and disclosure requirements with respect to sustainability.”

In January this year, additiv launched its Wealth Solution Builder, a new platform enabling banks and financial institutions to create their own solutions.
