ESG investments try to deliver returns while monitoring the long-term impact of a company’s business practices on society, the environment and performance of the business.
Most ESG funds simply employ virtuous investing principles, but Oppenheimer goes further by employing its revenue-weighted methodology, which can help investors avoid overvalued sectors and stocks. ESGF is up 25% year-to-date.
OppenheimerFunds also offers a suite of revenue-weighted ETFs that specifically focus on companies with high revenues, including the Oppenheimer Large Cap Revenue ETF (NYSEArca: RWL), Oppenheimer Mid Cap Revenue ETF (NYSEArca: RWK), Oppenheimer Small Cap Revenue ETF (NYSEArca: RWJ), Oppenheimer Ultra Dividend Revenue ETF (NYSEArca: RDIV), Oppenheimer Financials Sector Revenue ETF (NYSEArca: RWW), Oppenheimer ESG Revenue ETF (NYSEArca: ESGL) and Oppenheimer Global ESG Revenue ETF (NYSEArca: ESGF).
