Which of the following ESG strategies is least likely used by private equity firms?
选项:
A.Positive screening
B.Thematic investing
C.Negative screening
解释:
C is correct because "like other investor types, private equity investors may certainly impose exclusionary screening i.e. negative screening on any number of criteria to restrict investment in certain sectors, either normatively or ethically defined. However, private equity investors do not have the benefit of the breadth and diversity of indices and benchmarks of the listed equities space, limiting opportunities for peer comparability analysis or portfolio optimization efforts around ESG criteria. However, portfolio managers can benchmark segments of the portfolio against smaller investment universes, even including public companies, if data comparability exists. Hence, it is more likely that the GPs may apply some form of positive screening or thematic focus within their respective investment charter"; and least likely that they would use negative screening.
