Dear Chair Gensler and Commissioners,

The SEC needs to promptly finalize its proposed Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Investment Funds Disclosure Rule, File No: S7-17-22. The lack of accessible and standardized information on how funds and investment advisers use ESG factors still stand out like sore thumbs.

Every sound investor wants to be able to feel confident that one's own money is directed towards funds that sufficiently take into account the environment, workers, and communities, and that those commitments are backed up by detailed disclosures.

Please pass a final rule as soon as possible and protect ALL people who are currently saving or plan to save for retirement.

Sincerely,

David Addison
Staunton, VA
