Green investments

Concern about climate change has led to our client demand for ESG (Environmental Social and Goverence) funds increasing. Regulations like SFDR and IDD are transforming the advice process. We can ensure that the broadest range of investments classified as Article 8 or Article 9 under SFDR across our investment fund choices with each of the life companies that we work with. 

While they all aim to produce better outcomes for Investors and the planet, there are some key differences on how different styles of sustainable investments work, which are important to know.

Different styles of sustainable investments

• ESG investing considers the company’s environmental, social, and governance practices alongside traditional financial measures.
• Ethical investments often actively avoid or choose investments based on specific ethical guidelines.
• Thematic investing strategies consider long-term trends, ideas, and values. Examples of this include Clean Water or Forestation.
• Impact investing often actively select companies whose positive impact on the world can be measured, for example Climate Change.
