Looking Ahead : Sustainability in Investment
Looking ahead , sustainability will play an even more significant role in investment decision-making . With the increasing demand for ESG investments , we anticipate greater transparency in how companies report their ESG practices , leading to more informed investment choices .
At Veri Global , we ’ re excited about the possibilities that sustainable investing offers , not just in terms of returns , but also in making a real , positive impact on the world . We invite you to join us in this journey towards a sustainable future .
Here are some sustainable investment funds as examples :
• Vanguard ESG US Stock ETF ( VEQT )
• iShares ESG Aware MSCI USA ETF ( ESGU )
• Fidelity U . S . Sustainability Index Fund ( FITLX )
• T . Rowe Price US Aggressive Growth ESG Fund ( PRGFX )
• BlackRock iShares MSCI USA ESG Select Dividend ETF ( DSU )
These funds all have low expense ratios and track well diversified indexes that screen for environmental , social , and governance ( ESG ) factors . They have also performed well over the past few years , making them a good option for investors who want to invest in sustainable companies while also achieving their financial goals .
It is important to note that there is no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to sustainable investing . The best fund for you will depend on your clients individual investment goals , risk tolerance , and time horizon .
Here are some additional factors to consider when choosing a sustainable investment fund :
Investment objectives : What are the fund ’ s investment objectives ? Do they align with your own ?
Investment strategy : How does the fund invest its money ? Does it use a passive or active approach ?
Expense ratio : What is the fund ’ s expense ratio ? A lower expense ratio means you will keep more of your investment earnings .
Performance : How has the fund performed over time ? Look at the fund ’ s past performance , but keep in mind that past performance is not a guarantee of future results .
Risk : How risky is the fund ? Consider the fund ’ s risk level and make sure it is appropriate for your investment goals .
Once you have considered these factors , you can start to narrow down your choices and choose a sustainable investment fund that is right for you .
