Are ESG ratings helpful or harmful for advisors?

With over 40 ESG ratings, 150 rankings and 450 indices, it can still be difficult for advisors to fully trust these tools.

A lack of standardization and transparency means scores can vary depending on which company is providing the rating.

With the growing prominence of ESG investing, quality information about funds’ social-responsibility practices is more important for advisors now than ever before.

As part of a new series releasing next week, Financial Planning will be exploring the impact that these ESG rating tools have on advisors alongside additional stories covering the problem of "greenwashing" and ESG doubt.
