Finding that ESG niche

Bailey McCann wrote a piece for us from New York this week on ESG ETFs and their increasing use of impact investing to make a difference. She quoted new data from PwC which suggests that ESG-orientated AUM could cop USD33.9 trillion by 2026.
McCann reviewed Impact Shares and their partnership with Climate Vault, a carbon reduction and removal solution and Blue Horizon, a fund designed to be a one ticket solution for investors who want exposure to the new energy economy.
The previous week saw McCann also taking a look at new ETF from New York Life Investments which is supporting social impact funds from the American Heart Association.
The funds provide financial grants and low-interest loans for evidence-based, community-driven work in targeted communities nationwide. So far, the funds have invested in a total of 98 local social enterprises in 16 cities across the US.
Our other interview this week is with US fund giant, Schwab Asset Management, whose DJ Tierney, senior investment portfolio strategist, talked to us about the firm’s relatively late arrival at the ETF ball, with its first launch in 2009. "But we have had a pretty impressive 13 years since then," Tierney says, growing to be the fifth largest provider in the US, and the third largest in terms of inflows.
Back to socially responsible investment: HANetf has its latest outing with Asset TV next week.
