Put that wealth to work to reach your financial and lifestyle goals while simultaneously supporting your values with ESG investing. Your ESG investment portfolio, which you should build on the chassis of your customized plan, will be diversified to balance risk and return while aligning with your values.
What is ESG investing? ESG, or Environmental, Social, and Governance investing, considers standards for a company’s operations. As a socially conscious investor, you can screen potential investments for:
- Environmental criteria, which evaluate how a company cares for nature.
- Social criteria, which delve into how a company manages relationships with its workers, suppliers, clients, and the communities where it does business.
- Governance, which examines a company’s leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.
