Could this wave of opportunities over the next decade challenge the traditionally conservative stance of major public funds? Many still follow strict governance policies that restrict investments in sectors like tobacco, weapons and defence, gambling, and adult entertainment, primarily due to ethical, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns and regulatory risks.
