The Hype Surrounding Environmental, Social, and Governance Investing

"The shares of ESG companies will get wicked expensive as more and more money piles into them. At that point, with the expectation of low returns on ESG and high ones on 'wicked' stocks, virtue investors and ESG fund managers will have to eat palpably lower returns or creatively reclassify 'wicked' companies to get higher performing stocks into their portfolios, i.e., destroy the meaningful differentiation between ESG and 'wicked' companies once again." ~ Robert E.
