At Glenmede Investment Management, we have a long history investing for impact. The accessibility of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance data allows asset managers to continually evolve how this type of information is used in investment analysis.

1The performance information included in this table is hypothetical, included merely for illustration of theory and model structure, and does not represent the investment performance of any actual product. Choices of what to include in this article have been selected with the full
benefit of hindsight, after performance over the period was known. Results achieved in simulations do not guarantee future investment results. It is possible that the assumptions here are wrong, and that the actual results will be better or worse than what is discussed here. Although the information contained herein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, accuracy and completeness cannot be guaranteed. Simulated results do not include actual trading, so there is no
guarantee that any actual account could have achieved comparable results if managed during the relevant timeframe.
