Episode notes

The proposal could potentially create some big uncertainties about when you have to start disclosing if you're going to consider carbonate. I a, you know, faith based investing that has not necessarily been considered a e s g fund. But now i've had at least one faith-based daviser talk to me and say, are we now ans g fund? That's not what we thought we were before this rule proposal came out. And so again, i'm looking forward to seeing that the comment file with some examples from issuers of products that kind of weave between strategies as they move along.

Amid rapid growth in ESG investment, regulators around the world are developing sustainability-focused rules. In this episode of the ESG Insider podcast, we explore new rules proposed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that involve sustainable or ESG-labeled funds.

To get a better understanding, we talk with Aniket Shah, managing director and global head of environmental, social and governance and sustainability research at Jefferies Group. We also speak with George Raine, a partner in the asset management group at the law firm Ropes & Gray, and Lance Dial, a partner in the ESG & Sustainability group at law firm Morgan Lewis.

We'd love to hear from you. To give us feedback on this episode or share ideas for future episodes, please contact hosts Lindsey Hall (lindsey.hall@spglobal.com) and Esther Whieldon (esther.whieldon@spglobal.com).
