The Ratings Radar Show: are we overhyping ESG as a fund selection tool?
You might get the impression that every fund selector now chooses all their investments on an ESG basis. You might have to think again.
Citywire’s flagship Berlin event returned in real life and how good was it to be back?
It was a great opportunity to hear directly from Europe’s fund selectors for the first time in two years.
One surprising aspect was that for all the growing hype about ESG – and the strong fund flows for such vehicles - it doesn’t seem to be the primary tool for fund selection just yet. Just 35% of the selectors we polled said they had more than 50% of their investments allocated using an ESG approach
In this week’s Citywire Ratings Radar show, Berlin attendees Richard Lander and Angus Foote run through this and other take-aways from the event with Frank Talbot and Nisha Long. Producer Alan Walsh provides the audio polish.
