Institutional Investor (July 3)
“In the often dogmatic debate over whether using environmental, social, and governance factors helps or hurts investment returns, neither side is going to cheer the findings of a recent Preqin report: ESG didn’t matter.” The analysis of 11,000 funds found “average performance of ESG funds was 13.5 percent, compared with 15.0 percent for all private capital funds,” a difference that is not statistically significant. Moreover, “the results were similar even after accounting for different asset classes.”

“The Beatles are not merely awful; I would consider it sacrilegious to say anything less than that they are god awful. They are so unbelievably horribly, so appallingly unmusical, so dogmatically insensitive to the magic of the art that they qualify as crowned heads of anti-music, even as the imposter popes went down in history as ‘anti-popes.’”
