That is why we have put together this blog post to answer all questions you may have about Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) Portfolios.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) portfolios?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) portfolios are portfolios which consist of companies that have a positive social impact. These companies meet SRI criteria by focusing on environmentally sustainable practices and fair labor standards, among others. They are a way for people to invest while knowing that their money is being put to work in socially conscious initiatives from around the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which ETFs are included in SRI portfolios?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarwa.co\/blog\/what-are-etfs-and-how-to-invest-in-them\">Both Blackrock and Vanguard ETFs<\/a> are included in these portfolios. The ETFs in SRI portfolios limit exposure to companies that have a negative social impact while growing exposure to companies that have a positive one. These companies meet SRI criteria. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here&#8217;s a list&nbsp;of the ETFs in Sarwa SRI Portfolios:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ishares.com\/us\/products\/239667\/ishares-msci-kld-400-social-etf\">DSI<\/a> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ishares.com\/us\/products\/239692\/ishares-msci-usa-esg-select-etf\">SUSA<\/a> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ishares.com\/us\/products\/283778\/ishares-esg-msci-eafe-etf-fund\">ESGD<\/a> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ishares.com\/us\/products\/283777\/\">ESGE<\/a> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/investor.vanguard.com\/etf\/profile\/VNQ\">VNQ<\/a> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/investor.vanguard.com\/etf\/profile\/BND\">BND<\/a> <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/advisors.vanguard.com\/web\/c1\/fas-investmentproducts\/BNDX\">BNDX<\/a> <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please note we increased exposure to SRI compliant companies without sacrificing access to fully globally diversified portfolios. &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What risk profiles do SRI portfolios have?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SRI portfolios have very similar risk and return as regular portfolios do. There is no change in types of asset classes. The only change you will see is in the selection of companies included, which is based on their social initiatives and impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What are the fees of SRI portfolios?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SRI portfolios have the same <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarwa.co\/pricing\">Sarwa fees<\/a> as our regular portfolios.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Sarwa, we want to meet your needs and help build your wealth with products and portfolios that align with your values.
