All investments are subject to market risk, including the possible loss of principal. Impact investing strategies may not succeed in generating a positive environmental and/or social impact. The incorporation of environmental and/or social impact criteria into an investment process may cause a strategy to perform differently from a strategy that uses a different methodology to identify and/or incorporate environmental and/or social impact criteria or relies solely or primarily on financial metrics. There is no assurance that any investment objective will be achieved.
