Fiduciary duty
Fiduciary duty exists to ensure that those who manage other people’s money act in the interests of beneficiaries, rather than serving their own interests.
It requires investors to incorporate all value drivers, including environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors, in investment decision making.
The modern interpretation of fiduciary duty
The integration of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues is an increasingly standard part of the regulatory and legal requirements for institutional investors, along with requirements to consider the sustainability-related preferences of their clients and beneficiaries.
