All About ESG. That is, investing based on environmental, societal, and governance criteria, and it’s exploding. ESG has taken over from SRI, or socially responsible investing, and interested investors need to understand both impact investing and sustainable investing. But there’s a new book out by Sam Adams and Larry Swedroe that does a fantastic job bringing it all together. After going over some current activity on ESG on social media from Cliff Asness, Alpha Architect, and William Green’s podcast, as well as a clip from the KTDpodinterview with Robin Wigglesworth, we get into an abbreviated discussion with Sam and Larry about their book. The complete interview is available on New Books Network. The new book is the Essential Guide to Sustainable Investing: How to Live Your Values and Achieve Your Financial Goals with ESG, SRI, and Impact Investing, can be purchased here. Larry has written a bunch of other books, and currently writes three newsletters for Evidence Based Investor, AlphaArchitect, and Advisor Prospectives. Sam can be followed on the website for his company Vert Asset Management, as well as Linkedin. I referenced two papers from AQR that can be found here from 2017,  and more recently on shorting here, and check out William Green’s Meet the Masters interview with Aswath Damodaran through We Study Billionaires – The Investors Podcast Network. Here’s a link to the paper on returns and momentum in ESG rankings called Sustainable Investment – Exploring the Linkage between Alpha, ESG, and SDGs.  KTDpod is also available on Amazon, Apple, Spotify, Google and Stitcher. Here is a direct link to the Robin Wigglesworth interview. Follow Robin on Twitter and Linkedin, and buy his book Trillions, you won’t be disappointed. Follow KTDpod on Twitter & Linkedin as well. Sam and Larry’s book talks about Iroquois Valley Farms, but you can learn more about the private REIT on the IVF website. #ESG #SRI #LarrySwedroe #SamuelAdams #VertAsset #RobinWigglesworth #AQR #CliffAsness #WilliamGreen
