Responsible Investing
For institutional investors
Responsible investing goes by many names: environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing; socially responsible investing (SRI); or impact investing. But the goal is the same: invest in companies that think long-term about their effect on the environment and society.
Parametric’s suite of Responsible Investing solutions empowers you to build a portfolio that aligns with your institution’s values. You can combine these solutions with our full lineup of customization tools to create a holistic portfolio that addresses your financial and ESG goals.

Responsible investing in action

ESG incorporation
You can include companies that meet your institution’s ESG criteria, or you can overweight companies that align well with your values while maintaining the risk profile of your desired exposure.
Active ownership
Working with Parametric, you can have a hand in improving corporate behaviors through proxy voting and the filing of shareholder resolutions.
