Mitigate accounting, disclosure, governance risks with ESG funds
Business Standard|October 18, 2024
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing has gained significant traction as sustainable investing practices take centre stage.
- SARBAJEET K SEN

ESG-focused investing has been present in India for a while. White Oak Capital Mutual Fund recently launched the ESG Best-in-class Strategy Fund for subscription.

"ESG is a structured and superior method for measuring the sustainability of companies by identifying risks hidden in a companys operations. It has a material impact on a firm's valuation," says Chirag Mehta, chief investment officer, Quantum Mutual Fund. On September 30, 10 ESG schemes managed assets worth ₹12,079 crore. Of these, Mirae Asset, Nifty 100, ESG Sector Leaders, Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF ) and its fund of funds (FOF) are passively managed schemes.

The sustainability pitch

Globally, regulators, rating agencies, and institutional investors have led the charge in promoting ESG investing.
