All About ESG. That is, investing based on environmental, societal, and governance criteria, and it's exploding. ESG has taken over from SRI, or socially responsible investing, and interested investors need to understand both impact investing and sustainable investing. But there's a new book out by Sam Adams and Larry Swedroe that does a fantastic job bringing it all together. After going over some current activity on ESG on social media from Cliff Asness, Alpha Architect, and William Green's podcast, as well as a clip from the KTDpodinterview with Robin Wigglesworth, we get into an abbreviated discussion with Sam and Larry about their book. The complete interview is available on New Books Network. The new book is the Essential Guide to Sustainable Investing: How to Live Your Values and Achieve Your Financial Goals with ESG, SRI, and Impact Investing, can be purchased here. Larry has written a bunch of other books, and currently writes three newsletters for Evidence Based Investor, AlphaArchitect, and Advisor Prospectives. Sam can be followed on the website for his company Vert Asset Management, as well as Linkedin. I referenced two papers from AQR that can be found here from 2017, and more recently on shorting here, and check out William Green's Meet the Masters interview with Aswath Damodaran through We Study Billionaires – The Investors Podcast Network. Here's a link to the paper on returns and momentum in ESG rankings called Sustainable Investment – Exploring the Linkage between Alpha, ESG, and SDGs. KTDpod is also available on Amazon, Apple, Spotify, Google and Stitcher. Here is a direct link to the Robin Wigglesworth interview. Follow Robin on Twitter and Linkedin, and buy his book Trillions, you won't be disappointed. Follow KTDpod on Twitter & Linkedin as well. Sam and Larry's book talks about Iroquois Valley Farms, but you can learn more about the private REIT on the IVF website. #ESG #SRI #LarrySwedroe #SamuelAdams #VertAsset #RobinWigglesworth #AQR #CliffAsness #WilliamGreen

In this interview we talk about democratization of impact investing in regenerative agriculture. Why land security over a long period of time is key to soil health and sustainability (in all aspects) of farms. We discussed many things, among them why Iroquois focusses on multi generational farming families and exclusively organic production, although many of the farmers they work with go well beyond organic. They are looking for farmers who want to improve agriculture every single year, to increase soil biodiversity, organic is ‘just’ the first step. Some other insights: - why they are starting to measure the carbon levels in the soil of the land they own - their journey into the retail investor space and why it has been so long and why they are now almost ready to launch this! Kevin: 'once they (red. the farmers they work with) get their organic certification then the opportunities just continue to blossom, because of the markets that become available because of their knowledge growing because of getting exposure to other organic farmers and learning new systems. We want all of our farmers to work on incremental improvements. That was the basic principal of organic (red. when the organic movement started)' Exponential knowledge curve with regen farmers: 'When a farmer makes that commitment to organic it is drinking from the fire hose, there is so much to learn so much to do, the deeper you dive you realise the more you can go into the science and the technical aspects. Some of our farmers diving deep into that stuff. Coming up with systems and rotations that work for their geographies.' There seems to be some plateauing after 5-10 years.
