Invest In Your Future

ESG focused portfolios allow employees to align their retirement assets

with their values and gives their portfolios the information advantage of considering environmental, social and governance factors in their management.

Impact RetirementTM ESG focused target portfolios are a composite of ESG focused mutual funds. The allocation to each respective fund in the portfolio is based upon an age appropriate or target risk level. Target-date portfolios change over time, getting more conservative as the vintage ages. This automatic de-risking of the portfolio over time is referred to as the “glide path.” In contrast, target-risk portfolios attempt to maintain a static risk level.

​

Many retirement plan record keepers have technology that allows for the creation of custom target portfolios. Adding Impact Retirement ESG focused portfolios to a plan on one of these platforms can be as easy as adding a few new funds to a plan's investment menu.
