Summary

As environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns have increasingly permeated public consciousness over the past few years, they are also top-of-mind throughout the investment world. This LIMRA study takes the next step in examining the use of ESG factors and investments in DC plans by surveying advisors about how ESG investments fit into their own DC practices, value propositions, and philosophies.
