Just about everything except oil and defense stocks was on the down side of the early 2022 market teeter-totter. But since the overall market hit a recent bottom in mid October, the rebound leaders have included some members of the Kiplinger ESG 20, the list of our favorite stocks and funds with strong environmental, social or corporate governance qualities.
Overall, eight of our 15 ESG stocks beat the S&P 500's loss of 7.7% over the past 12 months. And 13 have exceeded the index's 12% gain since October 12. (Prices and returns in this update are through February 28.)
