What are ESG funds and why should investors invest in them? An explainer
The environment, social and governance (ESG) mutual funds are the ones which invest in companies which demonstrate strong environment, social and governance practices. Although these are quite diverse criteria to choose from, still they are strung together by a common thread of 'ethical behaviour' manifested through commitment towards environment, society and governance practices. It would not be wrong to say that the phenomenon of ESG is still quite contemporary and till date, most investors do not aim to invest in stocks or funds based on their commitment towards ESG. The key goal of any investor is usually not to invest in one category of companies, but to maximise the chances of higher earnings. Therefore, when the selection of stocks is based entirely on the moral fibre, the occurrence of earning higher returns would only be a coincidence, and not a logical conclusion. However, the other way to look at this theme is that investment in well-managed companies is the right thing to do. 'When you see it purely from the lens of higher returns, ESG funds do not hit the bull's eye. Counterintuitively, if the ESG companies do not deliver good returns in the long run, then who else will? So, it is important in the long run to stay invested in the stocks of companies that have shown commitment towards environment, society and governance,' says Deepak Aggarwal, a Delhi-based chartered accountant and financial advisor. I. ABSL ESG Integration Strategy Fund: It has an AUM of ₹ 652.99 crore (as on June 29, 2025). It is managed by Chanchal Khandelwal and Dhaval Joshi. II.

Asian rally drives rebound on D-Street
Mumbai: Benchmark Sensex jumped nearly 540 points while Nifty closed above the 25,200 level on Wednesday on heavy buying in banking giants and oil shares and a positive trend in Asian markets after Japan secured a trade deal with the US. The 30-share BSE Sensex jumped 539.83 points or 0.66 per cent to settle at 82,726.64. During the day, it surged 599.62 points or 0.72 per cent to 82,786.43. The 50-share NSE Nifty gained 159 points or 0.63 per cent to settle at 25,219.90 as 37 of its constituents advanced and 13 declined. Among Sensex firms, Tata Motors rose the most by 2.51 per cent. Bharti Airtel, Bajaj Finance, Maruti, Bajaj Finserv, ICICI Bank, HDFC Bank and Reliance Industries were also the major gainers. Private banking giants HDFC Bank and ICICI Bank hit their 52-week high levels intra-day before settling nearly 1 per cent higher. Value buying in Reliance Industries, following five days of losses, also supported the rally. RIL shares closed higher by 0.83 per cent. However, Hindustan Unilever, UltraTech Cement, Bharat Electronics and ITC were among the laggards. 'The Indian equity market demonstrated resilience despite a mixed start to Q1 FY26 earnings. Positive global cues, underpinned by optimism surrounding the US-Japan trade agreement, have supported sentiment. Additionally, progress toward finalising the India-UK FTA has further contributed to the constructive outlook. 'Continued advancements in global trade negotiations are expected to alleviate near-term trade tensions and foster greater market stability. While elevated valuations remain a concern, the prevailing market strength indicates potential for near-term earnings recovery. However, the pace and sustainability of this recovery will be critical in shaping the market's forward trajectory,' Vinod Nair, Head of Research, Geojit Investments Limited, said. The BSE midcap gauge climbed 0.24 per cent and smallcap index went up by 0.05 per cent.

'On the global stage, investor sentiment soared following optimistic developments surrounding the US-Japan trade pact, igniting expectations for further international agreements in the near future,' according to Ashika Institutional Equities.
