FYI: There's one hot topic that Americans may remember about 2017, it's the wave of sexual harassment cases that took the corporate world by storm.
From famous actors, producers and entertainers to newscasters, big corporate figures and politicians, the Harvey Weinstein epidemic has cost many their jobs, reputations and marriages.
But as the stories continue to unfold, investors must undoubtedly wonder whether the financial industry is going to follow suit when considering certain company stocks or bonds for inclusion or exclusion in their funds and portfolios.
Environmental, social and governance, or ESG, investment assets grew to $8.7 trillion at the start of 2016, a 33% increase since the outset of 2014, according to the US SIF Foundation Report on US Sustainable, Responsible and Impact Investing Trends.
