VANGUARD PULLS OUT OF ESG / SENATE VOTES TO BLOCK ESG

Finally some common sense from our financial sector!  Vanguard CEO Tim Buckley is challenging the asset-management industry’s environmental social governance ideology – a win for our country, a loss for socialism (and marxism).

 

Buckley said in a recent interview with Financial Times, “Our research indicates that ESG (Environmental Social Governance) investing does not have any advantage over broad-based investing,” .  He also knows that Vanguard can’t promise to be a fiduciary to its clients while also committing to align its assets with the 2050 net-zero target.  His comments came after he had withdrawn his firm from the $59 trillion Net Zero Asset Managers initiative, an organization that is part of the $150 trillion United Nations-affiliated Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero.  Both alliances are committed to restricting their investments over time to companies that are compliant with the Paris Agreement’s objective of net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. We all know how that’s going.  Mr. Buckley claims the financial world, swept up in “climate-change fervor”, can’t make such commitments without reneging on its fiduciary duties.

 

 

Mr. Buckley’s assertions would be innocuous if he were a small hedge-fund manager or a so called “climate-change denier”. He is a business man. Vanguard is the largest or second-largest asset manager in the world. Pulling his firm out of the world’s largest association of financial institutions dedicated to net-zero goals will have seismic implications. What is it that Mr. Buckley knows that so many others don’t?  What is best for society and his investors.
