In today’s world, challenges such a climate change, social inequality, and weak governance are reshaping how investors think about risk and opportunity. While these risks may not always be visible in a company’s current financials, their long-term impact – through supply chain disruptions, regulatory action, or operational challenges can significantly affect business performance.

An investment approach that combines ESG factors with traditional financial analysis can help investors navigate these risks more effectively. Baroda BNP Paribas ESG Best-in-Class Strategy Fund seeks to offer investors this approach – supporting sustainable business practices while aiming for competitive long-term returns.
