In the first of a special two part 'deep dive' into ESG investing, we are looking at how ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investing was born and how it has evolved.

Since the start of the coronavirus crisis the media spotlight has been turned onto ESG as ESG portfolios have generally performed well (compared to non-ESG portfolios).  So what better time for us to give a more detailed insight into what ESG is and some of the common misconceptions around this way of investing.

We were also inspired by a recent interview with the CEO of Schroders, Peter Harrison where he declared that there will be no such thing as ESG investing in 5 years time.     

We take a look at the history of investors starting to consider 'ethical' factors in investing and the evolution of ethical, socially responsible and ESG investing. 

We take a deeper look under the 'E' the 'S' and the 'G' factors, what type of things are measured and what types of companies tend to naturally achieve higher ESG scores.
