The impacts of climate on economies and ESG investing

Season 1 Episode 17

In honor of Earth Day, the topic of climate change is tackled in this episode of Everyday Wealth. Listen as Soledad O’Brien and Jean Chatzky talk about how different sectors are affected by the current crisis and what it means for investors. Later in the episode, Jean and Soledad are joined by Senior Vice President of Portfolio Management at Edelman Financial Engines Neil Gilfedder and Edelman Financial Engines wealth planner John McCafferty to discuss ESG investing.

 

Investing strategies, such as asset allocation, diversification, or rebalancing do not assure or guarantee better performance and cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses. There are no guarantees that a portfolio employing these or any other strategy will outperform a portfolio that does not engage in such strategies. Funds and ETFs are subject to risk, including loss of principal. All investments have inherent risks. There can be no assurance that the investment strategy proposed will obtain its goal. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
