With reports that more advisers than ever have been researching funds with Square Mile sustainability ratings, and indications that performance of environmental, sustainable and governance-specific funds have outperformed their peers during the first few months of this year, it is worth asking whether ESG funds have come into their own right. Speaking with Financial Adviser editor Simoney Kyriakou on this podcast is Stephanie Maier, director of responsible investment at HSBC Global Asset Management, and Ryan Lightfoot-Brown, senior research analyst at Chelsea Financial Services. The FTAdviser Podcast is the weekly podcast for financial advisers, brought to you by FTAdviser.com.
