ESMA – ESG funds provided better return for investors in 2020

The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the EU securities regulator, publishes its fourth annual statistical report on the cost and performance of European Union (EU) retail investment products.  A new finding this year is that UCITS with an environmental, social and governance (ESG) strategy (including equity, bond and mixed funds) outperformed their non-ESG peers, and were also overall cheaper.
