BMO: Active Managers

Active Fund managers can reduce portfolio risk by analyzing the key ESG issues that affect each investment – like carbon emissions for energy companies. They also dive deeper and engage directly with company CEOs and encourage them to improve on their ESG performance.

However, risk mitigation is only part of the equation. Look to invest in companies that see ESG as an opportunity. Companies with products or services that solve a sustainably challenge, like renewable energy, or affordable housing, because they can benefit from positive tailwinds.
