Book Description

Sustainable investing is booming. The investment industry is fast approaching a point where one-third of global assets under management are invested with a sustainable objective. But do sustainable investment products do what investors expect them to do? How can an investor tell if their investments are having the social impact they want? Does that impact come at a financial cost? And how can investors weave their way through the web of confusing acronyms, conflicting agency ratings, and the mass of fund offerings, confident that they can recognize and avoid corporate greenwashing? Larry Swedroe and Sam Adams cut through the fog and bring clarity on all of this and more—providing investors with a firm plan for truly sustainable investing. The authors first define sustainable investing, illuminating the differences between ESG, SRI and impact investing, and reveal who is currently investing sustainably and why. They then move on to a comprehensive review of the academic research. What does the data really say about risk and return in sustainable investing? What performance can you genuinely expect from sustainable investments? And how are today’s sustainable investors using their influence to drive positive changes for society and the environment? Finally, this book arms you with a practical guide to investing sustainably, including how to effectively choose your asset allocation strategy, and select the managers and funds through which your money can create the change you want to see in the world. Your Essential Guide to Sustainable Investing is the definitive go-to resource that investors have been waiting for.

Book Description

This is the first comprehensive practical handbook on the topic of "Environmental Social Governance" (ESG) and its impact on the real estate industry. The sustainability megatrend is still in its early stages in the real estate sector, and there is a lack of standards, practical examples and data. The development is very dynamic and sometimes confusing, and new, complex, requirements and regulations are constantly being added. The authors – an expert team of economists, lawyers, investors, asset managers and engineers – provide an overview of national and European regulatory requirements as well as current market developments. They show what role ESG plays not only in the areas of new construction, renovation and real estate management, but also in investment processes and real estate valuations. Contents: - ESG and the real estate market - ESG and regulatory environment - ESG and real estate management - ESG in urban and project development
