How ESG can help planet and investors (The Aust 13/07/19)

Over the past four years, I have watched as investing in environmental, social and governance (ESG) as a strategy has gone from being a niche issue to one that now attracts high levels of interest.

Four years ago, the hot topic in the northern hemisphere was funds management fees, or MERs. I would say that issue took three years to become an issue of the same magnitude in Australia.

I have no doubt ESG will ­become as big an issue in Australia.
