How does sustainable investing work?

  • How does it work?

    By choosing to invest in a responsible way, you can support companies who are actively working to make a difference through their products/services, governance, supply chain, or charitable actions.

  • What is it called?

    Sustainable investing has taken time to evolve. The term is sometimes used interchangeably with ‘ethical’, ‘ESG’ (Ethical, Social, Governmental), or ‘Socially responsible’.

  • Myths and misunderstandings

    We’ve separated the fact from the fiction in our guide on investing in line with your values.

How can Wren Sterling help you?

Investing is personal. Sustainable investing takes a step further. You can support the causes you care about while maintaining focus on your long-term investment goals.

In your first meeting with an adviser we’ll establish what’s important to you in your initial appointment:

  • investment returns you expect and the risk you’re comfortable with
  • how long you’d like to invest for
  • how much you wish to invest, and whether you can afford to do so
  • your preferences for various causes

The value of your investments can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
