Socially Responsible ETFs Take Root

TedTed
in The Bullpen
FYI: One of 2016's big themes was the mass of filings and launches for exchange-traded funds focusing on environmental, social and governance factors, commonly known as ESG, nearly doubling the space.

By ETF.com’s count, there are nearly 50 funds that focus on sustainable investing, a catch-all term that covers ESG factors, socially responsible investing and other values-based investing. In 2016 alone, there were 21 sustainable funds launched, with the majority of those coming in the second half of the year
