FYI: When it comes to the environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing theme, investors have a growing number of options among equity-based exchange traded funds. The “E” in ESG is particularly easy to access as investors can find ETFs that do everything from exclude the energy sector to focusing on companies with low carbon footprints. Until now, green investing via ETFs for fixed income investors has been more difficult. The newly minted VanEck Vectors Green Bond ETF GRNB, +0.00% changes that. GRNB debuted almost two weeks ago as the first ETF dedicated to green bonds. GRNB follows the S&P Green Bond Select Index, which is “is comprised of labeled green bonds that are issued to finance environmentally friendly projects, and includes bonds issued by supranational, government, and corporate issuers globally in multiple currencies,”
