“Increase in social awareness on ethical issues and rising political pressure to deal with social issues such as global warming are increasing the demand for socially responsible investing,” said Frost & Sullivan Business & Financial Services Consultant Kavitha Chakravarthy. “Socially responsible investing is being considered for portfolio diversification by institutional investors. This is leading to the development of SRI markets globally. The demand for SRI products from institutional and retail investors is expected to drive the growth of the SRI markets.”
