Sustainable Investing
Our ‘Eco Friendly’ sustainable investment advice experts can help you to invest with a purpose. Our due diligence process identifies sustainable investment funds. Sustainable funds consider good Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) factors to drive your investment returns.
Sustainable Investing
When you invest in funds with good Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) credentials, your fund manager will choose which stocks, shares and other financial instruments to invest in only after they’ve conducted an ESG impact assessment.
Your manager will exclude any industries or activities that negatively impact your ESG objectives. This means they will invest your money in companies that can demonstrate a commitment to sustainability in their own business and positively impact the themes associated with ESG credentials.
