An article published on Zacks on July 5, 2016 inquires what is driving the recent growth in sustainability-themed exchange traded funds (ETFs). It lists a number of ETF products with an ESG, human rights, social and/or sustainability focus, including several with emerging market coverage.
The article concludes that sustainability-focused ETF funds will “gain considerable investor attention” noting “the latest data by Morningstar which says that 70% of all investors are interested in socially responsible investing, while more than 80% of millennials seek to go socially responsible on investment decisions.”
