Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG)
Taking the responsible approach to investing
Investing with consideration of environmental, social and corporate governance criteria has increased significantly in recent years. For many, it reflects an understanding of our need for long-term sustainable investment performance and our ambitions for a better world.
Once a niche approach thought to come at the expense of returns, Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategies have proven they can outperform other more conventional investment strategies. If you’re someone who wants to make a positive difference, you might be interested to know how you, your money and the things you care about could all benefit from sustainable investing.
The value of your investment can go down as well as up and you may not get back the full amount you invested.
Protecting people and the planet
Today, we’re seeing our world change faster than ever before, as economic, geo-political and environmental challenges abound. And as investor momentum builds, some argue that companies can no longer afford to discount their ESG ratings.
Investors are increasingly aware that it is possible and increasingly necessary to make a profit whilst positively and proactively protecting people and the planet. The way we direct capital not only shapes the financial returns we may achieve, but also the type of impact we have on the world.
Support long-term growth
Sustainable companies can have a positive impact on society and the environment. What’s more, their business models are more resilient and better placed to support long-term growth. So sustainable investing makes both investment and social sense.
Whether there are specific causes you want to put your wealth to work for, or if you believe companies that are run well will do well, your Beaufort Wealth Management Adviser can help you find the approach that works best for you.
