Factoring ESG into Factor Investing

In this new edition of NordSIP Insights, we explore a somewhat less known area within sustainability: the intersection between ESG integration and factor investing.

As anyone familiar with ‘Environmental, Social and Governance’ knows, sustainable investors often refer to the ‘E’ the ‘S’ and the ‘G’ as factors that might be slightly confusing for traditional investors in factor strategies.

To help us disentangle those notions, we have invited Emily Lawrence, Director of Sustainable Investing and Client Engagement at Northern Trust Asset Management. She talks to NordSIP’s Senior Research Director Julia Axelsson about the importance of intentional portfolio design when associating sustainability with factor investing.
