Details
ESG investing is the current gold boom of asset management. Investment managers are rushing into this sector as it’s one of the rare growing segments in the mature active management space. To make informed decisions, investors and the public need to know the shortcomings of funds that profess to invest in this sector as well as the problems faced in ESG investing in general.
We will be premiering a two-minute video entitled, The Ethics of ESG Investing, written and produced by Seven Pillars Institute a part of its ethics training video series. Our panel of experts will discuss the worrying issues raised by the video, including the question of whether ESG investing is actually ethical. Discover the answers to these burning questions in conversation with the panelists.
