What about returns?
Bluesphere Wealth says it’s a common misunderstanding that by investing in-line with your values you therefore have to give up on some financial performance.
The chart below shows the financial returns of Bluesphere’s sustainable impact portfolios across three risk categories for the past four years against their benchmark and the FTSE100.
Whilst past performance is no guide to the future, what this chart shows is that you can earn financial return AND create a positive impact on the planet.
