I joined The Investor’s Podcast once more this week to debate a variety of subjects. The YouTube chapters within the interview are linked beneath and you may take heed to the total audio right here.
I caught some flak for my feedback on ESG investing and whether or not Central Banks ought to have a local weather change mandate. I didn’t reply this as clearly as I’d wished, however my basic feedback have been correct for my part. In brief, the Fed (and different Central Banks) function with very blunt devices. Combating local weather change requires a extra focused and exact coverage method. That is higher suited, in my view, with rules and financial coverage. The Fed may nudge corporations in the appropriate path there, however I believe it will be a mistake for the Fed to start out utilizing conventional financial coverage instruments with a purpose on concentrating on ESG and local weather change. These instruments are too blunt and Financial Coverage is just not the appropriate lever to tug there. I hope that clarifies some.
