Sustainability
Our philosophy evolves around sustainable investing. Sustainable Investing has grown 107.4% annually since 2012 and currently accounts for 18% of the assets under management (AUM) in the wealth and asset management industry.
Sustainable investing, also known as socially responsible investing, is the process of incorporating environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into investment decisions. Companies or individuals who invest sustainably, do so by investing in companies, organizations and funds with the objective being the generation of social and environmental welfare alongside a financial return.
Sustainable investing allows investors to select investments based on their personal values.
