fair treatment for all

Financial Vulnerability

Prices have risen rapidly in the UK over the last year. In June, prices had risen by 9.4% compared to a year ago. High Energy prices and higher prices for the goods we buy from abroad have played a big role in this.

Uncertainty within the economic climate is leading many people to become financially over-exposed and therefore vulnerable. We take our responsibility for financial vulnerability very seriously. As a signatory of the Financial Vulnerability Charter, we are committed to recognising and treating all clients fairly, especially those who find themselves in vulnerable circumstances.

Sustainable Investing

Responsible investment at Pareto

Responsible investing is an umbrella term for all approaches to investing that consider values as well as returns. It aims to exclude profiting from activities that are considered harmful to society and the environment and to invest in organisations that are committed to operating in a way that is sustainable for the future.

Many of the key themes associated with sustainable investing are now mainstream across society. They can provide an attractive opportunity as the global economy becomes more focused on sustainability.

The Pareto Investment Committee work closely with investment managers to assess their approach to such matters. Before approving any fund or product for recommendation to our clients, the Investment Committee will review the Responsible Investment policy.
