Sustainable Investing
In fact, we believe in sustainable investing so much so that we are now using well-vetted sustainable funds in just about all of our portfolios, unless clients request otherwise.
The reason is the increasing body of research that demonstrates that companies that are effectively addressing ESG issues have been shown to perform better on a variety of financial metrics, including having a lower cost of capital. Essentially, the market recognizes that these companies are lower risk and rewards them accordingly. We also believe in rewarding companies that are being more effective stewards of the environment and who are committed to advancing important social and governance goals.
In brief, sustainable investing is smart investing.
Our approach aligns with our overall investment philosophy and focuses on utilizing low-cost investment vehicles that have been screened for environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.
Take a look at some of the research that demonstrates the outperformance of ESG investment strategies.
