Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) portfolios are constructed based on an environmentally responsible investment philosophy designed for social impact. Assets are selected based on this perspective combined with the potential for investment results. All investing involves risk and the potential loss of principal. ESG strategies may at times miss the opportunities to gain exposure to certain industries, sectors, and companies which could cause the portfolio to underperform when compared against other unrestricted portfolios. An ESG strategy may gain or lose favor. Investment strategies implemented by Destination Wealth Management are susceptible to market fluctuations and have the potential for investment loss. Destination Wealth Management does not guarantee any investment results or performance. Please contact your advisor for additional information regarding DWM ESG screening criteria and methodology.
