🚨 ESG Risk Alert 🚨 Alert: SEC fines WisdomTree $4M over greenwashing claims Company: WisdomTree Inc Type: Environmental & Governance Event: Fine ESGR score: 9.3 The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has fined WisdomTree, a New York-based financial services firm, $4 million for misleadingly marketing three funds as having an ESG investment strategy. The penalty follows findings that WisdomTree’s ESG funds were invested in sectors like fossil fuels and tobacco, contradicting the firm's advertised exclusions. The fine is another example of the SEC intensifying its crackdown on "greenwashing," where investment managers, seeking to attract investors, promote funds as ESG-focused while still investing in fossil fuel or other industries they claim to exclude. A WisdomTree spokesperson said the funds concerned were very small and have since been liquidated, as reported by Reuters. Want similar alerts?

Looking for more stability in unpredictable markets? Insurers are shifting to private debt and infrastructure for higher returns and diversification. Key Insights from the BlackRock survey: ✅ 91% of insurers plan to increase their allocations to private markets over the next 2 years. ✅ Private debt is emerging as a key asset class, with insurers looking at direct lending and infrastructure debt for higher yields and portfolio diversification. ✅ Public fixed income remains vital for stable and predictable returns, but there's a noticeable shift from mortgage-backed securities—44% of insurers are reducing exposure to these assets.
