You don’t sacrifice returns - and you do good

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.

Put your values in action

Decide if you want to:

  • Exclude companies with different values than yours
  • Integrate companies who reflect your values
  • Select investments that make an impact you can see

You don't have to choose just one way to invest sustainably. Those who already invest according to their values dedicate over a third of their portfolio to sustainable investments.1


What more can you do?

Here at UBS, we have a long tradition of giving back. Last year alone, the UBS Optimus improved the lives of 2 million of the world’s most vulnerable citizens: children. And it’s only one of the ways UBS can help you make the most of your giving.
