ESG
Sustainable and responsible investments that are screened on environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria are less risky and outperform the market in both the short-and long-term, according to analysis of ESG funds in America and Europe by S&P Global Market Intelligence and Morningstar. And they are booming, reaching over $10 billion in Q1 of 2020 in the US. Now the Trump administration wants to shut them down with new regulations to prevent pension fund managers from investing in ESG products unless their decision is based on ‘material economic considerations under generally accepted investment theories’. This is not okay.
