There are several strategies to consider and combine if you are an investor with focus on responsible investing, in addition to a profitable return:
When pursuing an ESG investment strategy, there are many different products to choose from. You can invest in bonds, index funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds or company stocks, all depending on how much you want to be involved in the research, screening and monitoring of your investment.
If you decide to actively manage your investment, many banks and analysts publish lists of the best ESG-rated stocks, which can help you in your research for the investment that fits your strategy. If you want to be less involved, funds can be a relevant option.
The number of ESG-focused funds is constantly growing as more and more investors are considering environmental, social and corporate governance factors before placing money and resources in a particular company or fund. Be aware of the criteria for the individual fund to ensure that the companies included actually meet your understanding of sustainability.
