The goal of the website is to inform decision making by featuring original research articles that focus on sustainable investing as well as financial trends and developments. The site, which offers free research access to all web site visitors, is geared toward individual investors, investment management firms, asset owners and financial intermediaries.
Over the last ten years or so, there has been a dramatic expansion in the number and type of sustainable focused funds, assets under management as well as growth in the number of firms adopting sustainable investing approaches and stewardship principles as well as offering various sustainable investment alternatives for institutional and retail sustainable investors. However, in the absence of widely accepted definitions or regulations in the US, confusion and misunderstanding regarding sustainable investing have surfaced concerns and challenges that could be affecting the durability of this investing approach. Against this backdrop, it’s increasingly important to have a reliable and unbiased “go to” source for actionable material to inform sustainable investment decision making.
Leading concerns and challenges include the potential conflict between the exercise of fiduciary responsibility, socially responsible investing and accounting for financially material environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors in investment decisions, the performance track record of sustainable mutual funds and ETFs, cash flows into and out of sustainable funds, the proper classification of funds that pursue varying sustainable investing strategies, expense ratios, financial and non-financial reporting and disclosure practices, and fears regarding green washing, to mention just a few. These are just some of the topics that the research posted on the sustainableinvest.com website has been covering and will continue to address.

We don’t believe that sustainable investing approaches, on their own, can produce portfolio outperformance, consistently, over time. Most active conventional fund managers can’t beat the market year after year, and this also applies to sustainable investors. Rather, we believe that investors should be able to invest in line with their sustainability preferences, in most instances, and at the same time, realize market-based risk adjusted rates of return. This result can be achieved by employing a strategy that relies on passive or index management while taking advantage of active management in less efficient market segments, focusing wherever possible on the lowest cost options, as well as emphasizing diversification.
New research is posted to the website on a regular basis. On average, two new articles are published every week.
