FYI: In any otherwise-crowded ETF industry, socially responsible exchange-traded funds, also known as ESG (environmental, social, governance) funds, are one of the few nascent areas. Currently, there are nearly 40 such strategies on the market today with a total of $3.1 billion in assets under management―a tiny amount compared to the 2,000-plus U.S.-listed ETFs out there with $3 trillion in total.
But growth in the space has been accelerating. At this time last year, there were only 22 socially responsible or ESG exchange-traded funds available.
