Just a heads up if you need to adjust your portfolio.

Investing will never be the same again.

The $120 trillion sustainability trend has left no sector untouched, and it is fueling one of the biggest transfers in capital the world has ever seen.

Blackrock, the world’s largest asset manager with $7 trillion under management, has already said that its clients are looking to double their ESG investment in the next 5 years.

And that is only the beginning.

Within a year, 77% of institutional investors have said they will stop investing in companies that aren’t considered sustainable.

Climate change is being listed as the single biggest concern for money managers around the globe.

And sustainable assets already account for $17.1 trillion of the global market.

But the real size of this opportunity is much, much bigger.

Investors and banks with more than $120 trillion in assets have agreed to start incorporating ESG elements into their investing strategies.

And the impact of these developments can already be seen in the stock market.


ESG = ESG Integration and Engagement: Fundamental to Active Investing
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations are deeply ingrained in AB’s investment and research processes—and in the way we engage company management teams and stakeholders. ESG factors are fully integrated in the overall risk/return assessment for every security we analyze. We believe that this rigor drives better research and better outcomes for investors.

Any companies that you'd recommend?

 

[Pauls' Revere]

Well, not really. I would think those that are into green tech and/or reduction of carbon footprint. Pollution control and cleanup, etc...

I hold positions in LIT-ETF & LTHM, Lithium. Thinking is that Lithium is needed for batteries for all these EV vehicles no matter where they are made and Lithium is pretty rare material too so scarcity is a plus to drive prices up.

But, I am NOT a professional trader and not in the habit of recommending as its my belief that people should decide for themselves what to do with their money.
