AB  - The standards of socially responsible investing continue to evolve, but the financial industry is beginning to reach a consensus on a framework for analysis. Collectively, the three components of social responsible investing (SRI) are known as environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. In A Morality Tale of ESG:Assessing Socially Responsible Investing , published in the Spring 2017 issue of The Journal of Wealth Management , Edward Aw, Stephen LaPerla and Gregory Sivin explore whether ESG factors are effective predictors of expected returns, both overall and on a component level. Additionally, they show the effect of overlaying ESG factors onto an existing investment process.
