Environmental, social and governance factors are collectively referred to by the acronym “ESG.” ESG integration is the practice of considering environmental, social, and governance factors in the investment process. Ideally, ESG integration should be implemented across all asset classes, including equities, fixed income, and alternative investments.
Sustainable Investing (SI) and Responsible Investing (RI) are sometimes used interchangeably with ESG integration. Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) is an investment strategy that is said to incorporate ESG issues. This strategy has however historically been represented by the practice of excluding companies and industries from investment consideration on the grounds that they oppose an investor’s moral or ethical values. An example would be to exclude tobacco companies from a stock portfolio due to the health-related consequences of smoking.
Managers and investors tend to define and implement ESG mandates in many different ways. As a result, differences often arise among investors regarding the ESG factors that should be considered in the investment process and to what extent they should be implemented within a portfolio.

Excelente para el FRM 2
Escribo esta revisión en español para los hispanohablantes, soy de Bolivia, y utilicé
AnalystPrep para dudas y consultas sobre mi preparación para el FRM nivel 2 (lo tomé una sola vez y aprobé muy bien), siempre tuve un soporte claro, directo y rápido, el material sale rápido cuando hay cambios en el temario de GARP, y los ejercicios y exámenes son muy útiles para practicar.

So helpful. I have been using the videos to prepare for the CFA Level II exam. The videos signpost the reading contents, explain the concepts and provide additional context for specific concepts.
The fun light-hearted analogies are also a welcome break to some very dry content.
I usually watch the videos before going into more in-depth reading and they are a good way to avoid being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content when you look at the readings.

A great curriculum provider. James sir explains the concept so well that rather than memorising it, you tend to intuitively understand and absorb them.
Thank you ! Grateful I saw this at the right time for my CFA prep.

I have finished my FRM1 thanks to AnalystPrep. And now using AnalystPrep for my FRM2 preparation. Professor Forjan is brilliant. He gives such good explanations and analogies. And more than anything makes learning fun. A big thank you to Analystprep and Professor Forjan. 5 stars all the way!

Professor James' videos are excellent for understanding the underlying theories behind financial engineering / financial analysis. The AnalystPrep videos were better than any of the others that I searched through on YouTube for providing a clear explanation of some concepts, such as Portfolio theory, CAPM, and Arbitrage Pricing theory. Watching these cleared up many of the unclarities I had in my head. Highly recommended.
