ESG Investing

At Envision, we believe it is crucial to offer diverse ESG investing options (environmental, social and governance). In addition to our signature Envision Justice Series™ (EJS™), we also offer a Values Aligned Direct Indexing Solution (VADIS).

Key Features of VADIS:

Accommodate Individual Impact Preferences:

Implement specific screens for issues such as climate change, alcohol, gambling, and animal welfare to ensure your portfolio aligns with your ESG values. This solution can accommodate investments as small as $25,000, with increased flexibility for investments of $250,000 or more.

Leverage Security and Sector Restrictions:

Exclude stocks that do not match your preferences.

Integrate Legacy Holdings:

Transition current holdings into a new target
strategy to reduce unnecessary trades and expenses.
Credit card mockups

Impact data on corporations is collected from over 100 publicly available sources and grouped into five main categories: Environment, Human Rights, Equal Opportunity, Health, and Accountability. The specific “issue areas” for your report are filtered based on your impact objectives, and overall aggregations by issue area are compared to the benchmark.

While the Envision Justice Core Values include Women Empower, Planet Protector and
Racial Equity Advocacy, VADIS can accommodate additional values such as Health
Defender and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

VADIS vs. Envision Justice Series™ Portfolios

VADIS uses a different combination of indices for its investment strategy compared to EJS™. As a direct indexing solution, VADIS adheres more closely to a passive investment approach, but the integration of your values introduces an active element to the final stock selection. For the fixed income portion of the portfolio, which typically includes bonds, VADIS utilizes mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

The EJS™ Core combines active and passive mutual funds and ETFs. VADIS’s different investment framework (asset allocation) allows you to diversify across multiple
ESG investing strategies. Traditionally, investors have sought diversification within a single strategy, but research by Craig Israelsen shows that diversifying across strategies during the retirement income stage can smooth out return variability, which is especially important when withdrawing money in retirement.
