Elections are behind us, and you can expect a revived debate over pensions blocking, allowing, or encouraging ESG and other non-financial factors to enter into decisions about public pension investing and, more generally, public finance. https://buff.ly/3ZJ9wgd #retiresecurely #pensionsnotpolitics

Individual investors aren’t playing political games. They’re purchasing securities when ESG-related news is positive for their stock’s performance, and selling when the implications are negative, according to a new study. Just as a fiduciary should. https://buff.ly/49nTPhu #apsr #retiresecurely
