" ... As a former state treasurer of Connecticut, I have personally overseen the management of a public pension system. It is not possible to fully protect the financial security of a plan’s beneficiaries if those charged with managing a pension fund are trying to build an investment strategy around nonfinancial considerations. Decisions on new investment strategies, whether they are driven by political reasons or simply as an attempt to chart a new path forward, must be made in the boardroom. There are many laudable social initiatives that individuals, religious endowments, schools, and other private entities may wish to consider. However, it is never correct to impose personal political motives on pension funds.

" ... “ESG investing in retirement plans has grown significantly over the years, and the unspoken truth is that most plans that utilize ESG investments chose the investments specifically for their ESG criteria,” says Hiller. “Fiduciaries often compare ESG investments against other ESG investments when making their selection, but the DOL has made clear that this comparison does not satisfy the requirements—ESG is a nonfinancial benefit, not an asset class. Those who have interpreted the proposed regulation as a prohibition of ESG investments are implying that ESG investments have been selected specifically for their ESG parameters—an implication that underscores the DOL’s concern and the reason for the proposed regulation.” ...
