Baron Capital added ESG analysis

Baron Capital says it began more formal ESG integration in 2019, building on earlier research work. ESG means environmental, social, and governance factors, which are non-financial issues that can affect a company’s long-term performance. The firm says it uses these factors in investment research to spot risks and opportunities, rather than to run impact-focused funds. It also says it keeps educating its investment teams as ESG rules and expectations change.

Baron Capital set exclusion rules

The list includes tobacco, civilian firearms, cluster munitions, and adult entertainment. It says its portfolios are screened regularly to check that they still follow this policy. This is a way of avoiding direct investment in sectors the firm does not want to support.
