Is ESG investing worth extra fees and opportunity cost? There may be better ways to spend your money.
In this episode, Aaron and Trishul discuss Socially Responsible Investing and ESG investing. Environmental, Social, Governance investing. They discuss the theories around how and why you you would invest in companies with objectives other than pure profit maximization. Trishul argues that if there was any additional ourperformance to be had, the efficient market would already have priced that in. Aaron uses an analogy of female led companies to argue that there may be some bias against non-traditional invesment strategies. But in the end, they both agree that lower investment fees is the way to go.
