X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html: <p>By June 2020\, a quarter of a trillion dol
 lars were invested in ESG funds. AND the growth trend is increasing exponen
 tially\; the amount of capital that flowed into sustainable funds last year
  was roughly four times as great as the amount in the prior year\, and six 
 times as great as the amount in 2013.</p><p>Many wealth managers follow aut
 omated "Robo-advisor" guidance by investing in ESG funds that track sustain
 ability indices and other publicly available metrics. Thus\, personal finan
 cial planners and investment managers who compete against such advisory ser
 vices may find it helpful to learn about the "truth behind the numbers."</p
