UMB’s dedicated ESG team thoroughly and extensively vetted the portfolio over several years to provide you with an all asset class ESG offering that spans multiple performance categories: domestic large-cap, mid-and, small-cap stocks, international and emerging markets stocks, as well as fixed income. The ESG team actively reviews asset allocations, asset managers and new opportunities so you can feel comfortable with your responsible investments.
Our ESG investment portfolio was built intentionally, with due diligence, research and patience. We believe an integration of three key attributes—environmental, social and governance—combined with attractive risk-adjusted returns is the most prudent focus for clients wanting to align their values and portfolio construction.

UMB’s interpretation of ESG factors and the application of this process is subjective and may evolve over time. Each fund held within the ESG portfolio exhibits varying risk and return characteristics due to the potential diversity of securities held within each fund and other criteria outlined in the prospectus. Additionally, due to the screening process for funds held within the ESG portfolio, portfolio holdings will differ from the applicable benchmark and the returns will vary accordingly, either outperforming or underperforming at any time. All investments involve risk, including the possible loss of principal. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.
