Due Diligence on ESG

Description

ESG – Environmental, Sustainable and Governance investing is one of the hot topics in the alternative investment industry. ESG mandates and requirements are increasing by pension funds and other institutional investors, requiring investment managers to develop and articulate their ESG policies and manage their portfolio accordingly.

The next phase to this trend is the due diligence by the investors and reporting obligations of the managers to demonstrate that the ESG policies are a core component of the investment strategy and not a mere aspirational goal.
