Conscious Investing.
CONSCIOUS INVESTING
Are you looking to explore beyond traditional investments?
Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) investing means different things to different people. As inventors look to diversify their portfolios with responsible and sustainable investments, they require more than one-size-fits-all strategies to meet their evolving needs and shouldn’t be faced with compromised returns.
While there is no “right way” to approach ESG investing, we actively manage ESG opportunities and risks, positioning our clients for success in the long term.
Have you heard of conscious investing? We can help you navigate alternative options from your traditional investment opportunities. These might be some of the questions you can ask that can help with your understanding.
- You might like to make sure your investment activity reflects your values. You might be opposed to fossil fuels and not like the idea of investing in businesses that make money from such activities.
- You’ve looked at your current super investments and find it hard to see what companies or areas you are invested in. How do you make decisions in this situation?
- Would it be possible to invest in more sustainable areas such as solar panels,hydro or bio-energy?
- How do you know that an investment product is reflecting your wishes? You’ve heard that some products with an Environmental label might not be what you expected?
- While you want to invest with a social conscience, you are also a realist and still want a level of focus on investment performance. Can the two co-exist?
- Give you confidence that it is possible to create synergy between your personal values and investment activity.
- Educate you on the range of ethical investment options including exposure to specific themes like renewable energy.
- You understand that investment returns don’t need to suffer when it comes to ethical investing, in fact there is evidence to suggest that investing in this area can be a positive for investment returns.
