Under Pressure: The SEC's Looming
Midterm Election Deadline
GARY GENSLER, CHAIRMAN of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
is under increasing pressure to implement the agency's plans before
the midterm elections that could swing political control to Republicans.
" Mr. Gensler said his priorities for this year are focused around increasing
efficiency in the $100 trillion capital markets that the SEC oversees
and on updating agency rules for modern technology, " The Wall Street

Journal wrote. " Aside from the climate-change initiative, these include
forthcoming proposals to require more information from public companies
about their workforces, and from asset managers about the criteria
they use when touting the sustainability of their investment products. "

ideological agenda, " Fink wrote. " It is not 'woke.' It is capitalism,
driven by mutually beneficial relationships between you and the
employees, customers, suppliers, and communities your company
relies on to prosper. This is the power of capitalism. "
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing is increasingly
popular, with even the Business Roundtable embracing its
principles in the summer of 2019.
Yet critics contend ESG's impact and returns are difficult to measure.
They also point to the higher fees that investment firms charge
for ESG investments as a driving factor for offering the option.
Fink, for his part, believes the trend ESG trend will continue.
" We have seen a tectonic shift of capital, " he argued. " Sustainable investments
have now reached $4 trillion. Actions and ambitions towards
decarbonization have also increased. This is just the beginning... "
