Politics Behind Energy: Taking Aim at ESG 9/7/22

CNBC’s Bob Pisani spoke with Arne Noack, Head of Systemic Investment Solutions, Americas, at DWS Group and Todd Rosenbluth, Head of Research at VettaFi – along with Mona Naqvi, Global Head of ESG Capital Markets Strategy at S&P Global Sustainable1. They discussed the politics behind energy – which are heating up as states like Florida and Texas are taking aim at ESG funds. Our panel of experts delved into the impact on ESG ETFs and how the industry, including major issuers like BlackRock, is responding to accusations of boycotting oil with its greener approach to investing. Plus, they talked about the latest push to standardize ESG criteria – and what the SEC’s take on it might be. In the Markets ‘102’ portion of the podcast, Bob continues the conversation with Todd Rosenbluth from VettaFi.
