BUSINESS & FINANCE


At a sector level, the biggest
differences from the S&P 500
among the ESG funds classi-
fied as buyers of large U.S.
stocks—adjusted to exclude
their many non-S&P hold-
ings—are that on average they
hold more tech and less com-
munication services and en-
ergy than the index.
At 24.7% in tech, the aver-

age ESG fund held about 1.6
percentage points more than
the S&P 500, almost all offset
by far smaller positions in
Facebook and AT&T , both in
the communications sector. In
energy, oil major Exxon Mobil
is deeply unpopular, while
Baker Hughes is the sector’s
most widely held, appearing in
44 funds and on average held

at three times its (small)
weight in the S&P.
The most popular stock is
Microsoft , just as it is with
non-ESG investors. Among the
least popular U.S. stocks of any
size are tobacco producers,
gambling stocks and makers of
weapons such as Boeing and
Textron , excluded by condi-
tions of many of the funds.

The trouble with working
out where inflows will go is
that no one buys the average.
Among the 219 funds, half
managed under $100 million
at the start of the year. Look
instead at the aggregate of
holdings, so that the choices
of the biggest funds make the
most difference, and they are
even more heavily overweight

STREETWISE|By James Mackintosh


Sustainable Funds Mostly Track the Market


Funds that
promise envi-
ronmental, so-
cial or gover-
nance
improvements
are a strange bunch: They hold
more in technology stocks
than the wider market, but are
underweight Apple , Ama-
zon.com
and Facebook , three
of the biggest.
They hold far less in oil
companies than the norm, but
are overweight Baker Hughes ,
a vital supplier of oil-drilling
equipment and services. Star-
bucks
, a small fry in the S&P
500, is the fifth-most popular
stock with U.S. ESG funds
classed as buyers of large com-
panies. Meanwhile, electric-car
maker Tesla isn’t that popular
with ESG managers.
Digging into the holdings of
ESG funds should help identify
where the flood of cash pour-
ing into supposedly sustain-
able funds is headed and so
which shares might benefit.
There is a lot of discussion
among investors of whether
the new popularity of ESG
funds will pump up the value
of tech stocks and hurt oil
shares and the stocks of other
carbon-intensive companies.
The answer so far seems to be
no, but that could change.
The detailed holdings
mostly show that ESG funds
don’t agree on much—except
they don’t like oil or Facebook.
I examined the positions at
the end of last year of 219 U.S.
mutual and exchange-traded
funds classified by Morning-
star as integrating ESG into
their investment process or fo-
cusing on sustainable themes.
They include active, quantita-
tive and index-tracking funds.


tech, again mostly offset by
being underweight in Face-
book and AT&T.
Unlike the average fund,
though, the big funds hold
much less in financials than
the broad market, due to the
near-absence of Warren Buf-
fett’s Berkshire Hathaway ,
classified as a financial stock.
Mr. Buffett has been scathing
about ESG, and Berkshire op-
erates coal-fired power plants.
ESG funds in total had only
$112 million of Tesla stock at
the end of 2019, much less
than if they merely tracked
the Russell 1000 large-stock
index. (Tesla is excluded from
the S&P 500 due to a lack of
profitability.) Tesla’s recent
rally hasn’t been supercharged
by ESG fund buying.
The broad picture is that if
new ESG money goes where
current ESG money is, it should
flow disproportionately to tech
stocks, while Facebook, oil pro-
ducers, tobacco and weapons
makers mostly miss out.
But so far, the effects are in-
discernible. In the energy sec-
tor, for example, there is no re-
lationship at all between how
over- or underweight ESG
funds are and performance
over the past year, the past
three years or the price-to-
book valuation. The tech sec-
tor, likewise, has no relation-
ship between ESG weights and
performance or forward price/
earnings. Other factors are
more important and, along
with fees, explain why, on av-
erage, ESG funds underper-
formed the S&P 500 over both
one and three years.
(I excluded non-S&P 500
holdings when working out the
percentage held in a stock or
sector.)

Listed are the 300 largest closed-end funds as
measured by assets. Closed-end funds sell a
limited number of shares and invest the
proceeds in securities. Unlike open-end funds,
closed-ends generally do not buy their shares
back from investors who wish to cash in their
holdings. Instead, fund shares trade on a stock
exchange. NA signifies that the information is
not available or not applicable. NS signifies
fund not in existence of entire period. 12
month yield is computed by dividing income
dividends paid (during the previous twelve
months for periods ending at month-end or
during the previous fifty-two weeks for
periods ending at any time other than month-
end) by the latest month-end market price
adjusted for capital gains distributions.
