ESG investing faces criticism, but remains globally popular

fastcompany.com

ESG investing, which considers environmental, social, and governance factors, is still available, despite criticism. However, its effectiveness is debated. ESG funds may charge higher fees and offer lower returns than traditional funds, and the rating system can be manipulated. Critics argue that the focus is on shareholder value rather than genuine impact. President Trump opposes ESG, and some Republican-led states have restricted its use in pension funds. Despite this, ESG remains popular globally, suggesting its continued presence in the market.
