One of the megatrends building across the financial landscape is focused on how investors can express their values in their financial decisions and have a positive impact on the world around them. The end goals are clear – improve risk-adjusted performance, make a positive social impact with capital allocation and incorporate one’s values – and to pursue these goals and drive their portfolios accordingly, investors are now evaluating a broader array of information and tools.
The show and the report is about incorporating sustainability considerations into investment decisions – information that has traditionally been viewed as external to the investment process but is increasingly seen as central. We argue that synthesizing material ESG factors together with other traditional fundamental data in the investment analysis and decision-making process has the potential to yield better performance outcomes and enables investors to express their values and make an impact through their investments.
Our goal with this edition of UBS Research Focus (the report) is to evaluate the evolution of sustainable investing, anticipate future developments and demonstrate why we believe a well-considered sustainability approach will add value to your portfolio.
