Desjardins’s responsible investment ETFs are for investors who want to diversify their portfolios while incorporating environmental, social and governance considerations into their investment decisions.
Our strategies integrate climate considerations and ESG risk management into diversified portfolio construction.
We have pre-established ESG standards to guide security selection and portfolio construction.
There are three complementary strategies in the responsible investment ETF lineup to meet different investment needs:
This approach is based on a rigorous data-driven investment process.
There are two versions:
Built on the same multifactor framework as DRFC and DRFE ETFs.
Avoid structural biases associated with market cap-weighted indexes (excessive concentration and sector bias).
Benefit from diversified potential sources of return beyond market fluctuations.
Grounded in decades of quantitative financial research on value, momentum, quality, and low volatility factors.
Tap into a multifactor strategy designed to go beyond simple index tracking and maintain competitive pricing.
Rely on a solution that can be the backbone of a diversified portfolio or complement other investment strategies.
RI market ETFs offer diversified market exposure while integrating the lineup’s pre-established ESG standards. Their approach aims to balance financial objectives, ESG risk management, and a clear financed emissions target.
These ETFs include:
This approach does not exclude the energy sector.
The Canadian bond RI ETF is actively managed and available at a low cost. It targets a financed emission level that is 25% lower than its benchmark index.
Several Desjardins RI ETFs have been recognized for their performance and the quality of their management. These distinctions are a testament to our rigorous investment strategies and the expertise of our teams.
To learn more about the financed emissions reduction targets for our RI ETFs that have a target, consult the monthly report.
