ESG Matters - What Does Responsible Investing Start With?

MoneySmart podcast host, Elias, talks about moving towards an ESG-focused future as a company with portfolio advisor Jeremy Butterworth from Wellington Management Singapore. Wellington Management Singapore has been an early adopter of ESG factors from as early as 1933. To date, Wellington has $1 trillion in assets under management. In this podcast, we look at the extent of how fund houses such as Wellington incorporate ESG into its extensive research process, with a standalone team just dedicated to ESG alone. We also discuss concerns such as risk and opportunities, Wellington’s deep-rooted ESG strategy, the positive impact that ESG investing has on the world, and how investors can choose the right ESG investments while avoiding the pitfalls of “greenwashing”.
