We are looking for ETFs and DIY mutual funds with low degrees of ESG risk
With a terrible calendar year now behind us and a booming energy market, an unknowing investor might just give up on the concept of sustainable investing. Remember, though, that investing this way doesn’t necessarily mean you must be particularly motivated by personal values and beliefs. In fact, the core of many environmental, social and governance risk measures is the concept of materially financial effects caused by non-financial risks.
Hence, regardless of your intent as an investor, risk is always something worth considering before entering a position. Make no mistake: ESG risk is a type of risk. With this in mind, today I use Morningstar Direct to search ETFs and mutual funds available to the DIY investor that have not only outperformed their peers but also exhibit low degrees of ESG risk. To do this, I used two criteria: A Morningstar Rating for Funds , which is an objective lookback at risk-adjusted returns after fees.
