Additional Risks Associated with the ESG and ESRG Investing Portfolios:
In addition to the general investment risks outline in our ADV II & Schedule H Brochure, there may be additional inherited risks pertaining to ESG & ESRG Investing Portfolios such as:
*Portfolios may be more susceptible to under performance during times of war, high oil prices and high commodity prices (due to the possible omission of such companies).
* Portfolios returns may suffer due to the inherent lack of investment choices. This may result in higher valuations due to an “overcrowded" trade. This may also create greater downside volatility should holders of such possibly “overcrowded” positions attempt to sell at this same time. Therefore, criteria for security selection may tilt more towards a growth approach rather than value.
