Sustainable investing with Fidelity
For customers focused on sustainability, Fidelity provides a diverse set of funds backed by decades of research and investment expertise. Our active broad-based sustainable investing strategies consider financially material environmental, social, and governance factors as part of the investment process*, while our sustainable thematic offering provides access to sustainability-linked investment trends:
- Environmental themes, such as investing in companies that are responding to consumer demand for sustainable practices
- Social themes, such as investing in companies that focus on more equitable relationships among their customers, employees, suppliers, and the communities they operate in
- Governance themes, such as investing in companies that exhibit accountable and transparent governance with diverse and independent boards
Sustainability-themed funds delivered greater exposure to environmental and social areas, including climate action, resource security, healthy ecosystems, human development, and basic needs, compared with peers, according to Morningstar research.1
According to Fidelity's Asset Allocation Research Team, decarbonization efforts may represent a technological transformation with parallels to the steam engine or IT boom. While some sectors may face initial costs, it could ultimately boost productivity and profits, benefiting the overall economy and market in the long run.2
