    Failure to Impact - Are ESG Funds Delivering on Investor Ambitions

    Posted: 14 Oct 2020 01:56 PM PDT

    Most ESG investors have high aspirations, and addressing climate change is chief among them. There's only one problem: Passive ESG funds don't allocate to the companies that will have any real influence. ESG strategies typically avoid stocks of companies with a heavier carbon footprint, but those are the very businesses that will supply the raw materials for renewable technologies to enable a carbon neutral transition.

    In our latest research brief, we provide a new investment solution to investors wanting to affect positive environmental change. Our paper proposes allocating to the real asset industries on which a carbon neutral transition depends, but allocating in a way that rewards those companies who will be a fundamental part of that transition, and/or who are evolving to dramatically reduce their emissions.

    Within the brief we explore:

    • The typical makeup of a passive ESG vehicle, and why its structure misses the mark when it comes to affecting environmental change.
    • The problems associated with relying on backward-looking ESG scores to allocate capital.
    • A data-driven look at the amount of raw materials carbon intensive industries will have to produce to enable renewable technologies to proliferate.
    • Why allocating capital to carbon intensive businesses – but allocating selectively – may serve as a better construct for rebuilding the world in a carbon-lite manner.
