Newsletter – October 2022

This month we take a deep look at SRI vs ESG investing. A growing number of investors want to encourage companies to act responsibly in addition to delivering financial returns. ESG and SRI are often used interchangeably, but have important differences.

Our theme this month is diversification. Diversifying investments can mitigate risk by balancing the ups and downs of individual shares, and individual countries to reduce their impact on your entire portfolio. A diversified portfolio is more resilient because it’s designed to capture growth while providing relative security during market downturns.

Our theme this month is shareholder voting and highlighting a few recent votes on resolutions that Booster, as the manager of your investments, has made on your behalf.
