"Public pension plans have engaged in social investing since the 1970s in response to state mandates. More recently, the plans themselves have embraced a 'new' form of investing that incorporates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. ESG investing is based on the notion that taking account of non-financial factors will lead to better investment outcomes. Some also believe ESG investing can further socially beneficial practices. The evidence suggests, however, that social investing: [1] yields lower returns; and [2] is not effective at achieving social goals. Hence, any form of social investing is not appropriate for public pension funds."
