Sabela Capital Markets was founded on the principles of integrity and transparency. Our only loyalty is to you, our clients. To fulfill our fiduciary duty and make decisions solely in our client’s best interest, our approach to investing is based on decades of award-winning research, real-world-tested principles, and financial science. This unwavering belief in data and reasoning is engrained in our philosophy and applies to how we approach debates on climate change and social impact policies.
In recent years, more investors have been focusing on sustainability and how they can align their investment decisions with their views on preserving the environment and mitigating adverse climate effects. Sabela Capital Markets is committed and passionate about providing a clear alternative to investors who want to align their values with their investment goals.
Our sustainable portfolio strategies are constructed with Dimensional’s US Sustainability Core 1, International Sustainability Core 1, and Emerging Markets Sustainability Core 1 equity funds, which are broadly diversified and offer investment solutions to clients who want to target sources of higher expected returns while upholding their social and environmental values. These strategies reduce exposure to companies with substantial emissions, companies with reserves capable of sourcing future emissions, and companies whose practices may otherwise violate certain environmental and social sustainability principles. The strategies may also penalize companies that use particularly intensive factory farming methods, companies identified as manufacturers of cluster munitions and mines that indiscriminately affect humans and the productive use of land, companies cited for child labor practices, and those linked to the production of tobacco.
