The HIP Great Place To Work ESG Portfolio
The HIP Great Place To Work Portfolio selects from a universe of publicly traded firms featured in Great Place to Work® Institute’s 100 Best Companies to Work For® annual list produced for FORTUNE magazine published every year.

The HIP investment process weights higher HIP-rated firms with a higher weight, and lower HIP-rated firms with a lesser weight. HIP excludes any firm related to fossil-fuel production; and excludes firms with a very low HIP Rating.

Companies pursuing employee satisfaction and engagement tend to realize higher employee retention and attendance rates, as well as, increased productivity. These factors can both drive revenue and lower costs.

In 2019, this strategy earned +25. 4% after fees, compared to the S&P 1500 benchmark returns of +30.9%, strong performance – with higher positive impact..

Annual Fee: 0.75%
HIP Fossil Fuel Free Diversified Portfolio
(80% Equity, 20% Fixed Income)
The HIP Fossil Fuel Free Diversified Portfolio enables investors an easy way to avoid fossil-fuel production, and invest in a more environmentally friendly future.

This portfolio invests in mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) holding dozens to hundreds of stocks, bonds, and securities around the world. Every fund is analyzed and only included if the investees are free of coal, oil and gas producers; free of oil or gas pipelines; and other firms that are related to fossil fuel production.

(Unfortunately, many firms still consume fossil fuels in transportation, manufacturing, and everyday life; this portfolio seeks out funds with leaders in energy efficiency, water efficiency, and lower carbon emissions.)

In 2017, the HIP Fossil Fuel Free Diversified Portfolio returned 18% after fees*

Annual Fee: 0.99%
