Name for Approach
How Implemented
Perspective on Economic Impact
Now
Oversimplified History of ESG
• Diversify South Africa• SRI Free
• Negative Screening
• Traditional (neoclassical) view is as cost
Then
• ESG• Sustainability
• Scoring / Ranking• Optimal Portfolio Construction
• Long-term no apparent strong impact• Results time dependent (?)• Some suggestions of benefit related to
sustainability

Slide 6www.northinfo.com
US SIF 2016 Executive Summary report on trends states that the terms “responsible investing”, “impact investing”, “sustainable investing”, “SRI” are used in the summary interchangeably
According to PRI, responsible investment is not the same but has similarities with socially responsible investing, ethical investment, impact investing etc.
PRI requires that…ESG considerations are incorporated into decision-making
though…it does not require ruling anything out anything
and…how this is done varies widely
What is Your Version of ESG Investing?

Slide 9www.northinfo.com
Performance of a Social Index
• Kurtz and diBartolomeo (2011).
• An update of 1996 and 1999 studies
• All 3 studies found that the relative performance of a social index to a broader market index
could mostly be explained by factor bets introduced by index construction methods
• Performance is time dependent – the social index outperformed from 1992-1999, but
underperformed 1999-2010.
• Assets in socially-responsible products have tripled from $3 trillion to $9 trillion since this
study was published

Slide 10www.northinfo.com
MSCI KLD 400 Social Index
• “Capitalization-weighted index of 400 US securities that provides exposure to companies with outstanding Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) ratings and excludes companies whose products have negative social or environmental impacts.”
• Launched in 1990• Screens out companies in:
• Maintains similar sector weights as broad market index• Minimum of 200 large and mid-cap constituents• Securities must have an MSCI ESG rating above ‘BB’ – factors include community relations,
diversity, employee relations, human rights, product quality and safety, environment, and corporate governance

Expected Life of Firms (recall Newport 2011)
• diBartolomeo (Journal of Investing, 2010)
• A metric that estimates the “market implied expected life” of firms using
contingent claims analysis
• We could take the asset volatility and correlations to estimate the probability of
defaulting for a firm
• Restrictive assumptions: Must have debt, must have positive book value, must
have fixed balance sheet leverage
• Reversing the logic to “expected life” allows firms with no debt to be included
• A quantitative measure of the fundamental and “social” concept of sustainability
-
Slide 23www.northinfo.com
Expected Life of Firms (recall Newport 2011)
• Price an option where the underlying is the firm’s assets, with the asset volatility
determined from the factor model
• Solve for the “implied expiration date” of the option that equates the option value
to the stock price
• Include a term structure of interest rates so that as the implied expiration date
moves around, the interest rate changes appropriately
• “Distance to run:” For firms with no debt or negative book value, assume that non-
survival will be coincident with stock price to zero
• A stock with 40% annual volatility needs a 2.5 standard deviation event to get
a -100% return
• Map the “distance to run” scores to the option method distribution
