ESG: The Swiss National Bank May Be Forced To Sell Some Stocks

The great thing about ESG is that the definitions are so vague it can be practically anything you want it to be.

This is one of the reasons the largest of the asset gatherers, the BlackRock's of the world, and the indexers, the S&P's, are so attracted to those three little letters, they want to be the arbiters of what can carry the imprimatur.

It's also a very au courant product to sell.

That was October 2020. There are many more.
