ESG Sustainable Investing
Sustainable investing for a better future
Whilst we invest our money with the intention of returning a profit, more and more of us are looking to put our money towards activities that will have a positive impact on our planet and the future of our children and next generations.
An overview of sustainable & responsible investment….
It is no surprise that we’re turning out backs on the more traditional investment funds that typically invested in goods that could be detrimental to the environment and favouring a more sustainable and responsible approach known as “socially responsible investment” (SRI).
During the last 20 years or so fears about climate change and the environment have caused SRI strategies to broaden from socially responsible to sustainable & responsible investing, encompassing ethical, social and governance related issues. The difference between these funds as opposed to the more traditional portfolios, is that the priority is not always about returning a profit – the primary concern is the fund’s attitude towards environmental and green issues, social and ethical responsibility and corporate governance.
Here, we refer to these “value-led” investments under the more general heading of “sustainable & responsible investment”, focusing on investing in companies that environmentally sustainable credentials and who are ethically responsible. However we also incorporate ESG – Environmental, social and governance investments that conversely do put a fund’s financial return as a higher priority, using independent ratings to identify a company’s ESG opportunities and risks.
"The stock market is filled with individuals who know the price of everything, but the value of nothing."
– Phillip Fisher
How we offer sustainable and responsible investment
As a firm of independent financial advisers we believe in freedom of choice. If you choose to incorporate an SRI strategy into your overall investments, this adds an additional layer of complexity that requires information about the fund’s green and ethical credentials, which we can supply through trusted partners and methodologies.
How we can help:
At One Financial Solutions, we can help explain the complexities of a value led investment strategy and provide you with accurate information for you to decide the portfolio that meets your needs and your values. Essentially we’ll help to de-mystify the entire process!
