    Evidence is building that two of the biggest trends in investing — activism and environmental, social and governance awareness — are actually in conflict. Activist hedge funds not only worsen companies’ ESG performance, a study suggests, but seek out companies with high ESG values for attack.
  • The use of exchange-traded funds labelled as addressing environmental, social and governance themes is rising rapidly, as investors believe they allow them to track ESG indices more easily and cheaply, without necessarily having to engage intensively with ESG matters.
  • SRI
    The speed with which leveraged finance investors have embraced environmental, social and governance issues in the past 18 months has created an information impasse in the market, which the investors’ trade body is striving to ease.
  • Environmental, social and governance investors are taking an interest in companies' supply chains at last. It is important they do this in a sophisticated way and think deeply about the potential repercussions. Getting supply chains wrong could have devastating consequences.
  • Signs are growing that Western companies may be on the verge of a wave of moving manufacturing from China to other emerging markets and ‘re-shoring’ them to the home country, a trend that could have profound implications for markets and international politics.
  • SRI
    Consciousness of environmental, social and governance factors is snowballing among private debt and equity investors, prompting them to seek new answers to the conundrum of how to obtain adequate ESG information on private companies. Providers are trying to meet the demand, including with innovative products.
