Fund Update: Fidelity Sustainable World ETF – Anna Lester and Mike Hagopian

A green economy has become a priority for governments and companies around the world, and investors are listening. As people look for ways to be more sustainable in their everyday lives, sustainable investing is becoming an increasingly important factor to many. Joining the show today are Portfolio Manager Anna Lester and Institutional Portfolio Manager Mike Hagopian, for a look at their sustainable investing methodology, and for an update on the Fidelity Sustainable World ETF and mutual fund. Anna and Mike discuss the evolving regulatory landscape and how it relates to ESG investing, the significance of incorporating scope 3 emissions data, the use of AI and machine learning in sustainable stock selection, and the importance of factors like governance in sustainability evaluations. They give us a look at how they apply their sustainability criteria for stock selection to align investors' ESG values with their financial goals.
