The Rise of ESG Investing
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) investing has grown from a $30 trillion market in 2018 to over $50 trillion in 2024. This shift reflects changing investor priorities and mounting evidence that sustainable practices correlate with long-term financial performance.
Key Strategies for Sustainable Portfolios
Modern sustainable investing goes beyond simple exclusionary screening. Today's investors employ positive screening, thematic investing, and impact measurement to build portfolios that generate returns while creating measurable social benefit.
Measuring Impact and Returns
The debate over ESG performance has largely been settled. Studies consistently show that companies with strong ESG practices demonstrate lower volatility, better risk management, and competitive long-term returns compared to traditional benchmarks.
