When you plan your investments, you are envisioning a better life for yourself and your loved ones – your family, your children, and the generations to come. With the rising challenges confronting us such as unemployment, global warming, gender inequality, corruption, have you thought about where your savings are invested? Are the companies underlying your investments responsibly addressing these issues? So, the key question you need to ask yourself is:


Do you chase funds that make you the most money?

Or Do you choose funds that help make the world a better place?

When you choose the latter, the former takes care of itself.

Don't take our word for it

There are studies which validate that sustainability = profitability over time.

As a responsible investor, your investments are not just about meeting bottom lines but also identifying certain values or ethics that are important to you.

Instead of losing sleep over trying to predict the next best asset class or mutual fund, choose to build a sustainable portfolio with ESG investments. ESG stands for ‘environmental, social and governance’ and represents a range of criteria mutual fund companies use to screen companies underlying their investments.

However, you must remember that ESG investments like other equity mutual funds are meant for long term investors. The longer you hold the mutual fund units, the better your chances for long term risk adjusted returns.
