Baroda BNP Paribas ESG Best-in-Class Strategy Fund
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.
This Scheme is an investment solution designed to align financial growth with ESG principles. We believe that companies with strong ESG practices are better positioned for long-term success. By applying Best-in-Class ESG filter to our investment process, we aim to reduce risk through responsible governance, and capture opportunities in companies growing sustainably.
