Comparable returns
Potential RI returns are just as good, and sometimes better, than those of traditional investments. You don’t need to sacrifice returns to stay true to your values1.
Less risk
RI tends to decrease risk. Several studies have shown that companies that value ESG criteria are better equipped to manage risk, which potentially increases returns.
A proven history
The first RI fund was created in Europe in 1965. Today, RI represents more than 61.8% of Canadian investments2.
