I joined The Investor’s Podcast once more this week to debate a variety of matters. The YouTube chapters within the interview are linked under and you’ll take heed to the complete audio right here.
I caught some flak for my feedback on ESG investing and whether or not Central Banks ought to have a local weather change mandate. I didn’t reply this as clearly as I’d wished, however my normal feedback have been correct in my opinion. In brief, the Fed (and different Central Banks) function with very blunt devices. Preventing local weather change requires a extra focused and exact coverage method. That is higher suited, for my part, with rules and monetary coverage. The Fed might nudge corporations in the precise path there, however I feel it will be a mistake for the Fed to start out utilizing conventional financial coverage instruments with a objective on concentrating on ESG and local weather change. These instruments are too blunt and Financial Coverage shouldn’t be the precise lever to tug there. I hope that clarifies some.
