Most ESG ETFs are sector neutral to their non-ESG counterpart index, making it hard to argue for sector differences driving performance differences.

2020 is a year of awakening for social equity and inclusive growth.

For example, 90 per cent of the top fund ESGU is held by advisers, through platforms led by Envestnet, BOA's Merrill and Blackrock Advisory.

The rise of ESG investing in 2020 coincides with ESG performance resilience and the shifts in society's sentiments.

In a prolonged global pandemic, one may assume the interest in ESG aligned investing being pushed to the back-burner.

We have seen a rising investors' appetite for ESG ETFs, more ESG products launches, and more corporations taking action to push for climate resilience and inclusive growth.

In fact, despite the improvements upon their non-ESG counterparts, the vast majority of top ESG ETFs by AUM still have high carbon-intensity measures and substantial exposure to the big oil and big coal industries, according to a study at ETF.com.
