Marlo Oaks Utah State Treasurer talks ESG
Join our host Senator John D. Johnson and his guest Utah State Treasurer Marlo Oaks. The discussion centers around ESG (environmental, social and governance) scores.
Treasurer Marlo Oaks spent 17 years overseeing multi-billion-dollar portfolios, first at Farmers Insurance Group in Los Angeles (15 years, $24 billion) and then at Intermountain Healthcare (2+ years, $7.5 billion) in Salt Lake City. He oversaw the Treasury function at Intermountain, along with all the community portfolios, including Primary Children’s Hospital Foundation. He has experience managing foundation, endowment, healthcare/hospital system, insurance, defined benefit (pension), defined contribution (401K), taxable, and tax-exempt portfolios, including manager searches, due diligence, risk management, asset allocation, investment strategy, investment policies and guidelines, and reporting to senior executives and boards of investment committees.
Mr. Oaks speaks out often concerning Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) scores use economic force to drive a political agenda through corporate America. Arguably, no one outside the Federal Government has more power, and few people outside the industry know what’s going on.
Marlo recently joined Glenn Beck to discuss his fight against ESG scores in companies.
