Strategies for Responsible Investing conference in October 2019 at the University of Cambridge. The authors use a responsible investing debate from that conference as an object lesson to critique two methods of responsible investment, negative screening and engagement. They also illustrate the importance of selecting an ESG score provider by examining the differences in metrics among different providers.TOPICS: ESG investing, portfolio theory, portfolio construction
