Please see below an article from A.J. Bell which was received yesterday (17/10) and covers their views on Environmental, Social and (Corporate) Governance investing:
As you can see from the above article, ESG investing is certainly becoming more mainstream, and this theme ties into what we are seeing and hearing from other fund management companies too.
One question I am most typically asked by my clients when we discuss ESG investing is, ‘Will I have to compromise on investment returns to be an ethical investor?’ and I believe the above article demonstrates that this is not the case.
It has been suggested that in the future, ESG investing may actually become the default investment offering with investors specifically having to ‘opt out’ of this type of investment strategy.
ESG investing is certainly an area to keep an eye on in the future. We believe it is a great option.
