Frequently Asked Questions | Sustainable Products
Why are there so many different names for Sustainable and ESG funds?
There can be differences in how funds with sustainable strategies apply ESG considerations in their investment process. A well-diversified portfolio can own funds that follow different approaches to sustainable and ESG strategies. As with other types of investments, it's important to consider portfolio construction principles such as diversification across multiple asset classes, investment styles, market capitalization size, sectors, and global markets. It can be helpful to work with a professional financial representative and a tax advisor to develop a thoughtful investment program.
