2018 ESG Trends to Watch

Jan 16, 2018

In 2018, investors will: use ESG signals to help navigate the evolving size and shape of the emerging markets universe; expand their view of portfolio climate risk to macro exposures across asset classes; accelerate ESG integration into fixed income; look to alternative data sources to balance the growing volume of corporate sustainability disclosure; and increasingly seek opportunities to invest in talent quality.
