Arizona Treasurer Kimberly Yee announced that the state would be divesting hundreds of millions of state funding away from the far-left asset management company BlackRock, due to the company’s support for “ESG” (environmental, social, and corporate governance) policies.
As reported by Breitbart, Yee released a statement declaring that her office has already “divested more than $543 million from BlackRock money market funds and reduced our direct exposure to BlackRock by 97% this year.” She accused the company of moving “away from its fiduciary duty in general as an asset manager,” and instead focusing more on “political activism.”
