Few investment topics are as polarizing as ESG investing. Often discussions about environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues affecting business devolve into political debates that have little to do with investing. However, investors of all stripes should pay attention to these risks and opportunities, which will likely become more important over time, as companies face greater scrutiny from consumers, investors, and governments alike over their ESG practices.   

This month's issue attempts to provide an objective assessment of ESG investing and offers guidance for navigating the growing landscape of ESG ETFs. It also introduces a new ESG model portfolio, which will be included in the standing rotation going forward.   

Here, you’ll find content about:     

• How ESG risks can affect business and the impact of ESG screens on performance 
• The new ESG model portfolio
• Navigating the ESG landscape
• Areas where investors can find common ground about ESG 
• iShares ESG MSCI USA Leaders ETF SUSL and iShares ESG U.S. Aggregate Bond ETF EAGG
