FYI: Environmental, social and governance (ESG) investments have a data problem. It's not that the data underpinning these investments is bad—far from it. The problem is that there's too much of a good thing, and nobody can agree on which data points should take precedence over the rest.
As more and more ETF issuers launch their own ESG products, it's gotten harder for investors to sort the real impact investments from those that make an impact in name only.
Enter green bonds. This special category of debt allocates dollars toward specific eco-friendly projects, making it one of the most concrete ways for investors to make an impact with their money.
