Your investment portfolio is about more than just numbers.
For many of those we work with, it's an extension of who they are. They want their investments to reflect their views on the environment and society. And I think it's safe to say that all investors want their portfolios to include companies that are governed well.
We call these the ESG factors, environment, social, and governance.
At the Private Bank, all the social impact investing strategies include an ESG assessment as part of the investment process. The strategies can be customized to consider factors that are most important to you. Wells Fargo has been at the forefront of responsible investment management for over 15 years.
Together with you, we can create portfolios specific to your investment goals.
Today, there are more ways than ever to align your portfolio not just with your financial goals, but also with your individual preferences.
You can make a difference with your investment choices.

Risk Considerations
Sustainable investing focuses on companies that demonstrate adherence to environmental, social and corporate governance principles, among other values. There is no assurance that social impact investing can be an effective strategy under all market conditions. Different investment styles tend to shift in and out of favor. In addition, a strategy’s social policy could cause it to forgo opportunities to gain exposure to certain industries, companies, sectors or regions of the economy which could cause it to underperform similar portfolios that do not have a social policy.
