Sustainable & Responsible Investing
You have worked hard to get where you are today. Yet, perhaps you are at a point where you want to do something more to make an impact with your assets, morally and ethically. We live in uncertain times and there are more than a few hurdles that we face– geopolitical turmoil, terrorism threats, environmental concerns, proliferation of alcohol & tobacco companies, and energy crises. You are not alone if you are worried about how these unknowns are going to impact your financial, and our overall society and world’s future.
At EagleStone Tax & Wealth Advisors, we help you face these concerns and have a multitude of socially responsible funds available to us, designed with sustainable investing in mind as a primary objective. We work with our clients to design mutually agreed upon, customized, and handpicked investment options that are selected with that bigger picture in mind.
