Socially Responsible Investments
Investment options:

Increase your impact with Socially Responsible Investments (SRI)

Socially responsible investment options help donors maximize their charitable impact by potentially aligning their investment strategy with their personal values. Schwab CharitableTM is committed to offering you a lineup of options that consider environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) factors along with financial performance.

SRI performance

SRI is a widely accepted investment approach that may allow investors to align their investments with their values without sacrificing performance.

    Comparable performance

    Schwab research has found that over the long term, SRI approaches have tended to perform very similarly to non-SRI approaches, and with similar levels of volatility.1
