Course Description

Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2021-2022.

Individual and Institutional investors are increasingly aligning their investment portfolios to account for Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) objectives.   ESG investing, however, is still in its infancy.  Academic thought, regulations and investor behavior are rapidly evolving.  This makes ESG investing an extremely interesting and dynamic area of study. By the end of this class, a student should be able to articulately incorporate ESG considerations into their overall investment recommendations and decisions.  This course should be beneficial to any student planning a career in equity investing, either as a direct investor, asset allocator or advisor.  Students planning on being corporate managers would also benefit from this class as ESG considerations are increasingly impacting the way corporations are managed.  This course is also suitable for anyone interested in sustainability issues broadly, but a basic knowledge of equity investing is required.
