The trouble and contradictions with ESG investing

Are ESG funds all that they’re cracked up to be? Last week’s lesson covered what ESG investing is, and in theory, investing in companies that want to do more good sounds like a pretty good thing. However, today’s lesson covers that in practice, these ESG funds are coming up short. Plus, learn to "welcome with open arms."

Lingo

Lose all hope

To “lose all hope” means to stop believing that something you want to happen might be possible.
