Firm
Sustainfolio is a program of Sustainvest Asset Management (founded in 2013), an independent investment advisory firm 100% focused on sustainable investing. With a $5,000 minimum, the program was created to help further the mission of sustainable investing and opening up the movement of ESG.
Sustainable investing isn’t a subset or “niche idea” of what we do like the big box wealth management firms out there. It is all we do and is our expertise.
We have chosen to work with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. as custodian for your account because they provide:
- The Schwab Security Guarantee, so you can feel confident your personal and financial information is protected.
- SchwabSafe, a collection of security measures designed to keep your personal and financial information safe online.
- All assets are held or custodied with Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. therefore giving our clients piece of mind and access to a pioneer in the field.
We, as a firm, also find that it is our duty to be engaged with the companies that we are invested in as well. We do so by filing shareholder resolutions every year. Topics that are addressed include climate change, pesticide use, animal cruelty, pollution and a host of other issues.
Sustainvest Asset Management is a member of 1% for the planet donating 1% of our annual revenues to environmentally focused non-profits.
