    Environmental, social and governance (ESG) funds are among the fastest growing investment styles. ESG funds can be used either to only mitigate risk (input ESG) or to go beyond that to create impact (output ESG). We argue that the governance by ESG is characterised by three potential transmission mechanisms: ratings, shareholder engagement and capital allocation. These mechanisms can create sustainability impact or constitute 'ESG gaps', if they remain ineffective or unutilised. Based on financial data, an investigation of ESG methodologies and expert interviews, we provide a novel market analysis of the ESG industry, focusing primarily on the capital allocation mechanism. Our findings highlight that while ESG indices could have an impact, most currently do not meaningfully facilitate sustainability - we call this the 'ESG capital allocation gap'. This has important implications because without effective transmission mechanisms, ESG funds cannot have sustainability impact on companies and the real economy.

    Tail-correlation matrices are an important tool for aggregating risk measurements across risk categories, asset classes and/or business segments. This paper demonstrates that traditional tail-correlation matriceshich are conventionally assumed to have ones on the diagonalan lead to substantial biases of the aggregate risk measurement's sensitivities with respect to risk exposures. Due to these biases, decision-makers receive an odd view of the effects of portfolio changes and may be unable to identify the optimal portfolio from a risk-return perspective. To overcome these issues, we introduce the "sensitivity-implied tail-correlation matrix". The proposed tail-correlation matrix allows for a simple deterministic risk aggregation approach which reasonably approximates the true aggregate risk measurement according to the complete multivariate risk distribution. Numerical examples demonstrate that our approach is a better basis for portfolio optimization than the Value-at-Risk implied tail-correlation matrix, especially if the calibration portfolio (or current portfolio) deviates from the optimal portfolio.
