With the rise of a new generation of investors, ESG principles—which promote environmental, social, and corporate governance—are becoming increasingly important to investment firms. According to a recent survey, 40% of frequent investors said that investment firms currently place the right amount of importance on ESG investing principles. As investors become more aware of their impact on the environment and society, they are increasingly turning to ESG principles as a way to invest responsibly.

Not all investment firms are on board with ESG principles, however. GOP lawmakers have accused some investment firms of breaking a law that prohibits divesting from oil and gas. At a senate committee hearing in Marshall, investment firms defended their decision to divest from fossil fuels, citing the need to meet their clients' ESG investment goals.

Prime Capital investment Advisors is one such firm that has embraced ESG principles. The firm recently announced that it has acquired Liberty investment Advisors, a firm that specializes in ESG investing. This acquisition is part of Prime Capital investment Advisors' larger strategy to increase its focus on ESG principles.

Land & Buildings founder and chief investment officer Jonathan Litt is another firm that is prioritizing ESG principles. Litt recently posed for a photo inside the firm's offices at Landmark Center in downtown NYC to promote the firm's commitment to ESG principles. Litt believes that ESG principles are an important part of responsible investing and are necessary for creating a sustainable future.

investment and advisory firm Guggenheim Partners recently announced the death of its global chief investment officer, Scott Minerd, after a heart attack. Minerd was a champion of ESG principles and was known for his commitment to responsible investing. His death is a reminder of the importance of investing responsibly and of the need to prioritize ESG principles.

Wealthy foundations have also been focusing on diversity when it comes to their investment. A recent report found that only 18.1 percent of wealthy foundations' assets invest by outside managers goes to firms run by women or people of color. This is a stark contrast to the growing number of investment firms that are prioritizing ESG principles.

Top investment firms have been turning to Rob Arnott for advice. Arnott recently shared two trades that he believes will deliver 15% annualized returns over the next decade. One of the trades is in ESG-oriented stocks, which is a way for investors to benefit from ESG principles without sacrificing returns.

Private equity firms have also been exploring ways to benefit from ESG principles. Private equity firms can receive high returns on investment in health care in a short period of time. However, to do so effectively, potential investors need to understand the nuances of ESG investing and be able to identify companies that are truly committed to ESG principles.

As investors become more aware of the benefits of ESG principles, the demand for responsible and sustainable investing is only going to grow. investment firms that are able to embrace ESG principles and prioritize diversity will be the ones that are most successful in the long run.
