Tangerine Investments' socially responsible investment portfolios help Clients invest for their futures, and the world around them
TORONTO, Jan. 20, 2022 /CNW/ - Today, Tangerine Investment Management Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tangerine Bank, announces a new addition to its investment fund offering with the launch of Tangerine Socially Responsible Global Portfolios.
The new Portfolios will hold a globally diversified mix of Scotia Responsible Investing Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), with an asset allocation strategy to suit different investor profiles, and which exclude companies based on Socially Responsible Investing criteria* to align with Clients' values and investment priorities. The result is a different way to invest that avoids companies based on the criteria below (see prospectus for full details):
- Controversial business activities: Companies that are generating a material level of revenue from controversial business activities, such as fossil fuels, tobacco and more.
- Carbon intensity: Companies ranking in the top 25% of their sector for the most carbon intense (CO2/Revenue) manufacturing practices
- Established norms: Companies with alleged or verified non-compliance with established international norms
- Gender representation: Companies without female representation in key decision-making positions
"As a purpose-driven organization, we are committed to ensuring that our business aligns to our environmental, social and governance strategy," said Gillian Riley, President and CEO of Tangerine Bank. "We're excited to introduce the Socially Responsible Global Portfolios, in partnership with Scotia Global Asset Management, because we know our Clients are also looking for opportunities to invest in the future through investments that speak to their values."
Other key features of the new Tangerine Socially Responsible Global Portfolios include:
- Low management fee: Our low fee[i] helps ensure your money is working harder for you.
- Autopilot investing: We've got you! Set it up, and we'll do the rest with our simplified features, like automated contributions, automatic rebalancing, and dividend re-investment.
- Globally diversified: Each Portfolio invests in bonds and/or stocks from over 20 countries across the world, offering opportunity for growth and diversification options at your fingertips.
- Get started with as little as $25: No big lump sums or commitments needed to start your investing journey – all it takes is $25.
