Sustainable Investment-Sustainable investing directs investment capital to enterprises that seek not just to make a profit but to make the world a better place. Learn the difference between Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), Impact Investing, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Environmental, Social and Governance Criteria Investing (ESG). Find the funds and companies that stand out in this new, exciting field.

It is totally dependent upon person's own ethical principles that they are concerned with the ESG investments or not but some facts shall be need to be disclosed.

Portfolios that integrate environmental, social and governance factors are likely to perform as well or better than non-ESG investments, say 90% of institutional investors.

The third global survey of 542 assets owners and investment consultants by RBC Global Asset Management showed that performance has become a key selling point for ESG-integrated strategies, with 38% of respondents believing that it helps to generate alpha. In the 2017 survey, 24% said they see ESG as a source of alpha. Also in 2018, 20% said they do not view ESG as a source of alpha, down from 46% in 2017. The remaining 42% of respondents said they are not sure about ESG's value as an alpha source. The comparative figure for 2017 was 30%.

The survey also found that responsible investing is increasingly viewed as a fiduciary responsibility among investors, with 54% agreeing. RBC GAM said that figure was more than double the percentage who last year said it was a fiduciary duty.

The types of socially responsible funds investment would be based on everyone's own judgment and one should not need to take decision w.r.t any ones opinion because each and every person point of views are different.
