The World Bank: The World Bank launched the Sovereign ESG Data Portal: a free, open and easy to use online platform that provides users with sovereign-level environmental, social and governance (ESG) data. The portal is designed to help investors better align ESG analysis with key sustainable development policy indicators and analysis, as well as to increase data transparency and support private sector investments in emerging markets and developing countries.
Institutional Asset Manager: Assets managed in Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) mandates by the 500 largest asset managers in the world rose by 23.3 per cent in 2018, in contrast to their overall assets under management (AUM), which were down 3 per cent from the previous year.
Top 1000 Funds: As concerns about climate change reach fever pitch, Harvard Business School has published a report that shows investment strategies that “aggressively” reduce carbon emissions can significantly boost fund performance.
Institutional Investor: "Oh no,” the recruiter exclaimed over the phone during my job interview. Up until that moment, the conversation had progressed extremely well. I was about to be connected to the hiring manager at a financial data and technology firm. The tone changed in an instant, as if I’d mentioned interning for Bernie Madoff or demanded access to the corporate jet. But I’d said something worse: I have a disability.
Institutional Investor: Most venture capitalists say they want to invest in more women- and minority-owned businesses — but when they are presented with the opportunity, they often dismiss it as “not the right fit”.
Citywire: Asset allocators have been bringing up the circular economy investment theme for a while. However, fund management firms only started implementing it in a fund format recently.
Citywire: The notion that poor performers on ESG should be excluded from portfolios is well known, but should investors go further and actively short such stocks to further punish problematic players?
Accounting Today: Environmental, social and governance reporting is filled with competing sets of sustainability-related standards that are in need of simplification and consolidation, according to accounting standard-setters and experts.
Citywire: Institutional investors in Canada, the United States and the United Kingdom who apply environmental, social and governance (ESG) principles are committing more of their assets to this approach than ever before. Moreover, these investors are adopting an ESG-based approach specifically because they view it as a way to enhance returns and mitigate risk.
Institutional Investors: Despite countless studies, there has never been conclusive evidence that socially responsible screens deliver alpha. A better model exists, argue Harvard Business School luminaries Michael Porter, George Serafeim, and Mark Kramer.
