Arguably, no investing style has been on the receiving end of as much criticism as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing. For its supporters and those interested in implementing its benefits in their portfolios, the good news is that while they're loud and vocal, the critics don't speak for all market participants.
Critics of ESG investing and standards are nothing if not vocal. That can be a reminder that simply because someone is loud doesn't mean they're always worth paying attention to.
ESG isn't a new concept. In recent years, it's gained more attention and assets thanks partly to the proliferation of related ETFs.
The concepts of ESG and sustainable investing are rapidly evolving. This is prompting many advisors and investors to ponder what the future holds for these investing styles.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion as an investment style stems from broader evolution in the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) space. As such, DEI as a foundation for securities selection is a fresh concept and one that merits further examination.
Environmental, social, and governance policies and investing have become targets of political derision. That doesn't dampen the need for corporations and governments to pursue agendas tied to climate change and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
