Is Nuveen Winslow Large-Cap Growth ESG Fund Ethical?

Ethics Rating

Mixed.

Score: -9.7

This fund seeks to invest in companies that align with a broad range of ethical values, including environmental sustainability, fair business practices, and peace. The portfolio is heavily concentrated in the US large-cap technology sector, with major holdings in software, hardware, and e-commerce. Holdings generally perform well on issues of animal welfare and respecting local communities. However, significant ethical concerns appear throughout the portfolio, particularly within its tech focus. Several holdings have ties to the military and defense sectors, and many face scrutiny over data privacy, security vulnerabilities, and anti-competitive business practices. The fund’s largest holdings also report high and often increasing greenhouse gas emissions.
