ETFs integrating positive screening for ESG are attracting investors....

Investors are pouring more money into ETFs choosing to invest in best-in-class companies scoring high on ESG criteria, rather than ETFs that instead screen so-called "sin stocks" out.  The data is quite remarkable and confirms that investors are keen to have more exposure to ESG-centered assets, particularly those seen as "best-in-class."  Regulators will of course pay attention to this trend--and without a uniform definition for exactly what "ESG" is--will take a close look at the relevant disclosures and procedures for ensuring that investors are in fact getting what they think they are buying.
