5 ESG Stocks to Make the Most of the Bull Run in 2021
Zacks Investment Research | Dec 30, 2020 06:36AM ET
ESG companies, or ones known for their focus on environmental, social or governance issues, have certainly come of age this year, with many seeing a stupendous rise in their stock prices. While the coronavirus pandemic has ravaged the global economy, vis-à-vis the stock markets, ESG stocks were the most sought-after as investors showed keen interest in companies that execute good governance.
What’s more, with coronavirus cases showing no signs of dropping in the United States and hospitalization rates picking up, ESG stocks will continue to be in demand next year as well. Also, ESG investing is likely to be one of the biggest trends worldwide, thanks to the emergence of eco investing. Nowadays, climate change is a grave concern and companies sensitive to the issue in all likelihood will see investors pouring money into them. After all, an astute investor always follows the trend and in this case, it’s nothing but socially-responsible investing.
