Read Article >Financial Risk Viewed Through an ESG Lens
Investing often relates to how we categorize risk. On this episode of Capital Considerations, we talk about how the ESG lens is used to classify risk bands.
Listen >Strategies that focus on ESG factors will cause them to sell or avoid certain stocks. Such stocks may subsequently perform better than stocks selected considering ESG factors. The evaluation of ESG factors will affect a strategy’s exposure to certain issuers, industries, sectors, regions, and countries, and may impact the relative financial performance of the strategy depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor. There is no guarantee that integrating ESG analysis will provide improved risk-adjusted returns over any specific time period.
