Think beyond your investments with the ESG fund.
Sustainable, socially responsible investing.
For a growing number of investors, backing companies that align with their values is non-negotiable. Investing in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) funds has, as a result, become popular with investors who want to see both financial and ethical returns.
The ESG fund is composed of progressive, industrious companies with an eye to making the world a better place. It gives eco-conscious investors the chance to buy shares in enterprises they can feel proud to support.
