Conducted by our research partners at GreenBlue Invest, the analysis shows that well-governed companies consistently outperform their peers, particularly during times of market uncertainty, emphasizing the importance of strong governance in achieving positive financial and ESG outcomes. https://lnkd.in/gdq8wFmz #liquidalternatives #USEquity #ESG

Some interesting conclusions in this new paper from my colleague Maya Beyhan, including the importance of human capital.

Since its inception more than five years ago, the S&P 500 ESG Index outperformed the S&P 500 by 1.62% on an annualised excess total return basis. This performance was driven by an array of factors: 1️⃣ seeking the best ESG-scoring constituents with medium ESG momentum scores, 2️⃣ electing constituents with high Human Capital Development and Talent Attraction & Retention scores, 3️⃣ while also avoiding the worst ESG-scoring constituents with high ESG momentum scores.
