Distribution of ESG Ratings

This chart shows the distribution of MSCI ESG ratings that have been assigned to the underlying holdings within each of our investment strategies. Leaders are companies with ESG ratings of AAA or AA. Average companies have ESG ratings of A, BBB, or BB. Laggards are companies with ESG ratings of B or CCC.

ESG ratings data was collected in July 2022. Analysis assumes that an investor is assigned to a Risk 6 model portfolio in a retirement account (e.g. RRSP) without any allocation to gold.
