Advising the ESG Investor: A Non-Political, Outcomes-Based Approach

Stephen Horan

Presented by
Stephen M. Horan, PhD, CFA®, CIPM, CAIA

Executive Director, Financial Planning Review; Director, Master of Science in Finance and Investment Management, University of North Carolina Wilmington


Session date and time 
May 1, 2023
11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.     

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategies have experienced a massive inflow of capital despite a lack of evidence that ESG investing accomplishes its purported goals and without investors having information, tools and methods to evaluate and communicate their ESG objectives. Without these tools, it is impossible for investors with ESG intent to know if they are getting what they are paying for, to distinguish between investment managers based on non-financial objectives or to improve the likelihood of achieving positive ESG investing outcomes. This session highlights key challenges faced by ESG investors and portfolio managers implementing ESG investment mandates, provides guidance on the information required to make informed ESG investing decisions and proposes a performance evaluation and attribution framework to support the ESG investment management process.
