    Impact Investing

    If you are like many of our clients, you seek meaningful ways to create positive change through the contributions you make to important causes and organizations. You can also carry forward this mission through the investments you make. Often referred to as "Impact Investing," this discipline focuses on aligning your financial goals which are driven by economic fundamentals - with impact goals - which are driven by personal values and mission.
    The returns on a portfolio consisting primarily of Environmental, Social and Governance ("ESG") aware investments may be lower or higher than a portfolio that is more diversified or where decisions are based solely on investment considerations. Because ESG criteria exclude some investments, investors may not be able to take advantage of the same opportunities or market trends as investors that do not use such criteria.
