By buying an index fund, you can roughly match the market return with ease. But if you buy good businesses at attractive prices, your portfolio returns could exceed the average market return. For example, the Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE:KMI) share price is up 72% in the last three years, clearly besting the market return of around 16% (not including dividends).

Under pressure from customers and investors, many U.S. companies have pledged to voluntarily reduce their impact on the climate. But that doesn’t always mean they’re cutting their own greenhouse gas emissions.A large number of companies are instead paying others to reduce carbon emissions on their behalf through projects that generate carbon offsets.There are reasons for skepticism about this practice.

  A deal at the COP29 climate summit to speed up global participation in carbon markets promises to move billions of dollars in emissions-reduction projects, especially for poorer countries. But to achieve that, carbon trading will first need to win over countries and communities that have grown wary of scandals and disappointments shadowing the credits market. Carbon trading is seen as one way for richer countries to meet their emission reduction targets at the same time as helping poorer countries move to greener energy and to improve their resilience against climate change.   Also on AF: COP29: What Will Donald Trump…
