Opportunities in sustainable investing
What is sustainable investing?
Sustainable investing is an investment philosophy that can be applied across asset classes. It aims to deliver competitive risk-return characteristics similar to traditional investments while also generating positive environmental and societal impacts, or aligning with investors' personal goals and values.

This terminology refers to definitions in the UBS Sustainable Investing Framework and does not refer or relate to any product-specific regulatory labelling regime or naming conventions.
Sustainable investing strategies aim to consider and incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors into the investment process and portfolio construction. Strategies across geographies approach ESG analysis and incorporate the findings in a variety of ways. Incorporating ESG factors or sustainable investing considerations may inhibit UBS’s ability to participate in or to advise on certain investment opportunities that otherwise would be consistent with the Client’s investment objectives. The returns on a portfolio incorporating ESG factors or sustainable investing considerations may be lower or higher than portfolios where ESG factors, exclusions, or other sustainability issues are not considered by UBS, and the investment opportunities available to such portfolios may differ.
Your capital is at risk. The value of an investment may fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount.
UBS does not provide tax or legal advice. You should consult your independent tax/legal advisor for specific advice before entering into or refraining from entering into any services or investments.
