There is no one-size-fits-all approach to ESG
We know that client preferences around ESG can vary, and there are different ways to incorporate those preferences into an investment strategy.
How does Vanguard approach ESG?
We offer a selection of ESG products that employ different approaches.
Avoid
We offer products that avoid, or reduce exposure to specific industries such as firearms, tobacco, fossil fuels, gambling or adult entertainment, while seeking to achieve a market-like return.
Allocate
We offer funds which aim to deliver sustainable, long-term growth for investors who prefer active management and hope to achieve certain ESG outcomes.
Integrate
Whilst we offer actively managed funds which are not built with specific ESG outcomes in mind, the fund managers assess the materiality of risks, including ESG risks, as a part of their investment process.
ESG index products
Some investors want to limit their exposure to certain industries or business activities
that pose heightened ESG-related risks, or conflict with their ESG preferences.
Vanguard offers products that avoid, or reduce exposure to, specific industries while still seeking to achieve a market-like return.
