What Is ESG Investing?

Posted on March 13, 2023March 13, 2023 by The MarketClub Team

Business malpractices are pretty hard to be swept under the rug any longer. Moreover, pursuing positive changes has gripped the world recently as the world increasingly faces environmental and sustainability concerns.

Recently, ESG investments were pushed into the limelight after the Senate voted to overturn a Labor Department rule that permits fiduciary retirement fund managers to consider ESG factors in their investment decisions. President Joe Biden said that he would veto the bill when it reached his desk.

ESG Measurement: ESG activities can be objectively measured by an ESG score. MSCI rates companies on an AAA-CCC scale relative to the standards and performance of their industry peers, considering 10 themes and 35 key ESG issues. The MSCI model asks four key questions: Continue reading "What Is ESG Investing?" →
