Sustainable Alternatives

While it may remain contentious and still subject to definitional debate, ESG at least has well-established applications across passive and active long-only equities. ESG-focused alternative portfolios, though, are less common and more varied. This talk will explore implementation considerations for ESG in alternatives, especially in motivating the relationship between short selling and ESG, and review industry practice and regulatory responses. How seamlessly can ESG objectives, strategic asset allocation, and risk/return targets be combined?
