Sustainable Investing Perspectives
We look at investment implications of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, innovation on the circular economy, and water as investment risk and opportunity for portfolios.
Invest for returns and drive change through sustainable investing
We can help your portfolio live up to your principles, without compromising performance.2, 3
It’s a myth that you will give up performance when you invest sustainably. Returns are comparable to conventional investments.2, 3 And with companies and funds beginning to report on their social and environmental contribution, it’s getting easier to see how you’re making a difference.
Here at UBS, we have a long tradition of giving back. The UBS Optimus reached 5.9 mln beneficiaries in 2022 and reached >13 million children since 2014. And it’s only one of the ways UBS can help you make the most of your giving.
