Frequently Asked Questions
ESG Equity Funds are diversified equity funds that are thematic. They use three pillars - environmental, social and corporate governance criteria to screen companies and provide exposure to businesses that are sustainable. It is also called responsible or sustainable investing.
ESG investing aims for the triple bottom line that is good for 3Ps - people, planet and profits. Investors increasingly are becoming aware of the significance of weighing investments beyond financial parameters and seek the presence of certain values or ethics that they identify with. They are cognizant of the fact that a lack of sustainability parameters eventually translates into lower profitability over the long term.
When selecting ESG funds to invest, select a true-to-label funds. To verify ESG credentials, we believe it still warrants a detective’s lens and you cannot rely solely on BRSR reports (Business Responsibility & Sustainability Report). ESG screening of companies is not about excluding those companies in chemicals, refining or thermal power business etc., but to assess whether it is done responsibly. Quantum’s proprietary ESG scoring methodology evaluates over 200 parameters across the Environment, Social and Governance spectrum, backed by quantitative and qualitative data. We move beyond desk research and depend on groundwork and industry checks.
While computing the ESG score, 50% weightage is assigned to the Governance aspect, while the rest 50% to the Environmental and Social aspects. As a matter of fact, integrity filter is something that we follow at the group level since 1996. We believe poor governance also reflect poor performance on the social and environmental fronts, making it a good proxy for inherent risks.
Another important parameter to consider is that companies that have low ESG scores could lose prominence in the investment landscape, despite generating higher profits.
ESG investing may be underestimated due to their focus on non-financial parameters. However, there are studies that validate that a business which has good ESG practices has potential to deliver good risk adjusted returns arising out of lower cost of capital and improved operational performance. This eventually leads to higher profitability.
