Positive Screening

This approach involves identifying companies that are leaders in ESG performance, such as those with a strong commitment to reducing their carbon footprint or having a diverse workplace. It supports companies that make a positive impact and potentially yields financial returns while encouraging them to improve their ESG performance.

Negative Screening

It helps investors align their investments with their values and avoid supporting companies not committed to sustainable practices or social responsibility. Negative screening is a powerful tool for investors seeking to promote positive change while achieving financial returns.

I would highly recommend Brad at Absolute Financial Management. He carried out an assessment of our retirement savings and was extremely knowledgeable and thorough. He was very good at explaining complex financial information in simple terms that we understood. He clearly had a focus only on our best interests. I would definitely use Absolute Financial Management again in the future.

Highly recommend Victoria Smith at Absolute Finance, she was amazing from start to finish, she knew her stuff, she was professional, and she kept us sane through the process which wasnt the easiest. We wouldn’t have been able to do it without her. She was a massive support and having a personal contact through the process made all the difference. Thank you!!

Couldn’t be happier with the fantastic service provided by Victoria Smith at Absolute Financial Management. Friendly, professional and extremely knowledgable. She has put my financial affairs in good order and given me great peace of mind. I wish I had used her services sooner. Highly recommend.

Victoria was exactly what we needed when assessing our financial position. She made it easy to understand some fairly complex issues and came up with short, medium and long term suggestions that fully met the brief. We now have a good idea of our short term actions and a viable plan for the future. Overall, Absolute were a pleasant change from the usual advisory firms. Victoria was efficient and responsive and we would have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone requiring financial advice.

Making an informed decision

Benefits
Considerations
ESG investments consider factors such as environmental regulations, and labour practices, which can help investors choose more ethical companies.
ESG investments offer an opportunity to support companies that are actively making positive impacts on society and the environment, such as reducing carbon emissions, promoting gender and racial diversity, and improving labor practices.
ESG investments allow investors to contribute to a more sustainable and equitable environment.
ESG investments have gained popularity among generations who are increasingly conscious of social and environmental issues and seek investments that align with their values.
ESG investments are still a relatively new and growing market, which means that there may be fewer investment options available compared to traditional investments.
ESG investments often have higher fees compared to traditional investments, due to the additional research and screening involved in identifying companies that meet ESG criteria.
ESG investments may not perform as well as traditional investments in some market conditions, particularly during periods of economic or political instability.
ESG investments may be concentrated in certain sectors or industries, which may increase investment exposure and risk.

Important Information

It is important to understand the risk associated with any form of financial product as well as the fees involved.
Past Performance
Past performance is not a guarantee of future return, nor is it necessarily indicative of future performance. Keep in mind investing involves risk. The value of your investment may fluctuate over time, and you may gain or lose money.
Fees
The precise amount of the fee will depend upon your circumstances, and our advisors will provide you with an accurate set of costings after assessing your situation.
