Where next for ESG?

The year 2020 was a landmark one in lots of ways, including for ESG investing - if for no other reason than it finally put to bed the idea that you need to choose between investing ethically and investing for performance.

But where next for ESG? In this podcast, sponsored by BMO Global Asset Management, FTAdviser digital editor Damian Fantato takes a look at what the future might hold for these mandates. He is joined by Keith Balmer and Simon Holmes, portfolio managers at BMO, and David Macdonald, founder of financial advice firm The Path.

They discuss whether the outperformance seen in 2020 was a flash in the pan, how regulatory developments will affect ESG and how these funds might evolve.
