Name: Christopher Carosa FiduciaryNews.com

Category: Business and Finance

Email: query-bgp7@helpareporter.net

Media Outlet: FiduciaryNews.com

Deadline: 9:00 PM EST - 29 October

Query:

The Center for Retirement Research at Boston College has just
released the results of a study the may change the debate on ESG
investing. The study concludes " focusing on social factors, at
least for public pension plans, does not appear to be costless -
plans earn less in returns and fail to capture beneficiaries'
interests." Please email your answers to the following
questions. Keep your answers short (25 words or less). PR folks,
do not ask if we're interested - we are! - just have your
clients email their answers by the deadline.

IMPORTANT: Please repeat the question and retain its original
number. We will not accept responses that do not follow this
instruction.

1) How might the results of this study support efforts by the
DOL to place financial guidelines on the inclusion of ESG
investments in ERISA-based retirement plans?

2) The paper also suggests ESG-based stock boycotts have little
impact on the performance of the stock. If ESG investing doesn't
meet its objective, what other non-investing alternatives might
people interested in promoting ESG have?

3) Given the results of the study, what should plan fiduciaries
do to reduce their fiduciary liability when it comes to ESG
investments?

4) The industry appears to want to push ESG investing. Given
this study, why do you think this is so?

5) What can retirement savers do to better protect themselves
against the poorer returns associated with ESG investing as
suggested by the study?

6) State your name, title, firm, and city/state location.

Dear Friends Authority Magazine is starting a new series about

How Anyone Can Build Habits For Optimal Wellness, Performance, &
Focus. Full description here https://bit.ly/2HiqnkC

Having a habit or a routine is like an operating system for your
mind. If you can create a new positive habit, it is like getting
an upgrade to your operating system.

What are the habits for optimal wellness, peak performance, and
a strong focus? How does one develop these habits? How does one
eliminate negative habits?

We would like to feature any business leader or expert who can
discuss the habits for great health, great focus, and great
performance in all areas of life

The interview series will have two stages.

All of the full interviews will be published in Arianna
Huffington's Thrive Global and Authority Magazine, and they will
look like the following:

Hello,

Writing from the healthy eating site Eat This, Not That! We'd
love to put a great list together for "sneaky/small ways you

even people who are healthy eaters DON'T know they're

you wake up. Not eating breakfast within 30 minutes of waking
up. Exercising at the wrong time of the day. Etc.
