Investment outlook 2023 – what’s in store for investors?

There has been a significant growth and interest in investing on a responsible basis and the area is continually evolving. However, for investors, traditional ‘ethical’ investment solutions have tended to leave a limited choice of companies to invest in, compromising diversification and therefore investment risk/returns. ESG (environmental, social and governance) investing allows investors to take a proactive approach to investing responsibly but not at the expense of their risk/returns. 

We were delighted to win the Bita Risk Award for Best ESG (environment, social and governance) Investment Strategy at the 2023 City of London Wealth Management Awards. But what exactly is CGWM’s approach to ESG investing? And why do we feel ESG is no longer just a ‘nice-to-have’ for clients, but is fast becoming a mainstay of portfolios?

In order to meet your goals, both short- and long-term, you need to have a thorough understanding of your financial position, so that you can make the most of your money and create a comprehensive wealth plan for the future.
