ESG Investing

ESG investing, also known as “socially responsible investing,” “impact investing,” and “sustainable Investing,” refers to investing which prioritizes optimal environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors or outcomes.

Conscious investing can make a tremendous difference, not only in how you feel about what you own, but also the impact it can make in the world.

Sustainable investing is a way of not only potentially guarding against investor risk (as far as possible), but also can be a way of aligning portfolios with investor objectives and ethical motivations. Many investors care about ESG issues and want to invest in a way that reflects their views.

Performing well in these areas can benefit society, but it can also help reduce the risks a company passes on to its equity and bond investors.

Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) / Environmental Social Governance (ESG) investing has certain risks based on the fact that the criteria excludes securities of certain issuers for non-financial reasons and, therefore, investors may forgo some market opportunities and the universe of investments available will be smaller.
