Being an environmentally cautious citizen, I was always attracted to the idea and essence of ESG funds. But given their lacklustre performance recently, are they still relevant among investors? - Mehek Puri [EasyDNNnews:PaidContentStart]
Editor Responds : Thank you for writing to us. ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) funds remain relevant among investors despite recent lacklustre performance. While short-term returns may have been underwhelming, the longterm appeal of ESG funds lies in their alignment with sustainable investing principles and global trends toward responsible business practices. Investors, particularly institutional ones, recognise the growing importance of ESG metrics in mitigating risks and ensuring resilience against regulatory and environmental challenges.
Moreover, regulatory support, such as SEBI’s push for enhanced ESG disclosures, underscores the importance of this investment theme. As awareness about sustainability grows, retail investors are also beginning to view ESG funds as a way to align their investments with their values, contributing to their continued relevance in the market.
