You’ve worked hard to build a portfolio that reflects smart decisions and steady discipline.
But what if your investments could also reflect something more—your values?
At Ironwood Financial, we offer Socially Responsible Investment Funds that allow you to grow your wealth and make a difference. These funds are designed for individuals who want their portfolios aligned with ethical, environmental, and social priorities, without compromising financial performance.
We help you invest in companies and funds that meet high standards for ESG criteria (Environmental, Social, and Governance) while staying rooted in the principles of risk management, tax efficiency, and long-term growth.
Whether you’re interested in exchange-traded funds, sustainable investing, or community development-focused mutual funds, we’ll help you navigate the options with clarity and confidence.
As fiduciaries, we don’t sell products. We don’t take commissions. And we’re not here to “greenwash” your investments. Instead, we provide clear, objective advice backed by math, research, and personal guidance, so you can trust that your portfolio reflects your priorities, not someone else’s marketing.
Imagine looking at your retirement plan and knowing it’s not just built for your future but also for your principles.
Whether your goal is to reduce exposure to certain industries, support clean energy, or find a balanced large-cap strategy rooted in ESG performance, we’ll help you make decisions that feel right and work hard for you.
Want to explore what a values-aligned investment plan could look like?
Let’s talk. You can book your first session or reach out to us here. We’re happy to discuss the options and, more importantly, the ones that are right for you.
When you choose to work with Ironwood Financial, you’re not just choosing a portfolio—you’re choosing a partner.
One that’s committed to aligning your investments with your values, while keeping your financial future firmly on track. Whether you’re just starting or refining a decades-old strategy, our approach to socially responsible investment funds is rooted in clarity, purpose, and personal connection.
We begin with a Discovery Session—no sales, no pressure—just a conversation to understand your values, goals, and current financial picture. From there, we dive deep into the options that reflect your priorities, whether that’s sustainability, ethical business practices, or community-focused investments. Every recommendation is tailored, math-based, and designed with your best interest at heart.
As fiduciaries, we don’t earn commissions and we never push products—we work for you, and only you.
This is a long-term partnership. We help you navigate life’s transitions—retirement, legacy planning, market shifts—with ongoing support, transparent updates, and regular strategy reviews.
Our job isn’t just to manage your money—it’s to help you feel confident, informed, and in control of the impact your investments are making.
You deserve a financial strategy that reflects who you are, what you care about, and where you’re headed.
We’re here to help you build that—with intelligence, integrity, and heart.
If you’re looking to grow your wealth while staying true to your values, socially responsible investment funds might be precisely what you’ve been searching for.
At Ironwood Financial, we believe investing isn’t just about numbers—it’s about alignment. Alignment between your money, your goals, and the kind of impact you want to have on the world.

Do you have questions about our services or what it’s like to work with us?
Here are some common inquiries to help you understand our commitment to personalized financial guidance and the substantial benefits of our expert investment management.
When you invest in socially responsible investment funds, you’re not just focusing on returns—you’re intentionally choosing to support companies and causes that reflect your values.
For many of our clients, this means avoiding investments tied to fossil fuels, tobacco, or questionable labor practices, and instead allocating their portfolio toward businesses that prioritize sustainability, human rights, and ethical governance. It’s a way to grow your wealth while staying grounded in what matters to you.
At Ironwood Financial, our role is to help you explore socially responsible investment funds that align with your ethical, environmental, or social priorities, without losing sight of your long-term financial strategy.
We take the time to understand what you care about, then guide you through a personalized, math-driven process to identify investment options that reflect both your goals and your beliefs.
This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. It’s about helping you find the balance between purpose and performance, so your portfolio supports both your future and your principles.
One of the most common concerns we hear is: “Will I have to sacrifice performance to invest responsibly?” And it’s a fair question.
Fortunately, many socially responsible investment funds are designed to pursue competitive long-term returns while aligning with causes you care about.
These funds are built using companies that meet high environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards, which can often be indicators of strong leadership, lower risk profiles, and forward-thinking management.
At Ironwood Financial, we help our clients evaluate socially responsible investment funds not only for their ethical alignment, but also for how they fit into a complete, diversified portfolio.
Our role is to bring clarity and guidance, showing you how different funds have performed, how they respond to market shifts, and how they may support your goals over time. We’re not chasing fads or making promises—we’re building purpose-driven strategies backed by data, logic, and what’s right for you.
With our fiduciary commitment, our only goal is to assist you in making informed, confident decisions about your financial future.
Many investors don’t realize how much of their portfolio may be tied to industries that carry long-term risks, such as environmental liabilities, regulatory uncertainty, or social controversy.
With socially responsible investment funds, you can reduce your exposure to companies that may face pressure from changing laws, public scrutiny, or unsustainable practices.
At Ironwood Financial, we assist our clients in identifying socially responsible investment funds that actively screen out industries known for volatility or ethical concerns, such as fossil fuels, weapons manufacturing, or companies with poor governance. These screens aren’t about politics. They’re about protecting your portfolio from sectors that may not align with your values or your financial goals.
We use a math-based approach to evaluate how each fund contributes to your overall risk level, then guide you toward a more stable, values-aligned investment strategy.
It’s not about eliminating risk—it’s about helping you invest more intentionally, with better insight into what you’re truly holding.
One of the biggest frustrations for many investors is not knowing what they’re really invested in. With traditional mutual funds or managed portfolios, it’s easy to lose track of where your money is going and what companies you’re supporting.
Socially responsible investment funds aim to solve that by offering greater transparency, giving you clearer visibility into the types of businesses, industries, and practices your investments are funding.
When we assist clients in evaluating socially responsible investment funds, transparency is a top priority.
These funds typically disclose the criteria they use to screen companies, whether it’s ESG ratings, community development goals, or ethical business practices. That clarity helps us walk you through not only what’s in the fund, but why it’s there and how it connects to your values.
Our role isn’t to push products—it’s to help you understand the structure, purpose, and performance of what you’re invested in, so you can feel more informed and more connected to your financial plan.
Every dollar you invest sends a message. With socially responsible investment funds, that message can support clean energy, fair labor practices, diverse leadership, and companies that are actively working to solve real-world problems.
These funds are intentionally built to favor businesses that are leading with purpose—whether it’s reducing carbon emissions, improving workplace equality, or driving sustainable innovation in underserved communities.
At Ironwood Financial, our role is to help you connect your financial strategy with the kind of positive impact you want to support.
We assist clients in selecting socially responsible investment funds that not only aim for long-term growth but also seek to contribute to meaningful change. It’s not about grand gestures or unrealistic promises—it’s about helping your money reflect your values in a practical, structured, and math-backed way.
For many clients, knowing that their portfolio is aligned with both personal goals and broader impact creates a more profound sense of purpose in their financial journey.
Many people assume that socially responsible investment funds are limited in scope, focused only on niche sectors or small companies.
In reality, there’s a wide range of diversified investment options available, including large-cap stocks, international holdings, fixed income, and even ESG-focused exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Whether you’re building a retirement portfolio, seeking consistent income, or exploring growth opportunities, there’s room for socially responsible choices in nearly every asset class.
At Ironwood Financial, we assist clients in constructing well-balanced portfolios using socially responsible investment funds that meet both ethical standards and sound investment principles.
We help you evaluate the mix—U.S. equities, international exposure, sustainable bond strategies—and make thoughtful recommendations based on your goals, risk tolerance, and time horizon.
Our aim isn’t to box you into a narrow solution, but to broaden your opportunities in a way that aligns with both your values and your overall financial plan.
When you invest in socially responsible investment funds, you’re not just buying shares—you’re becoming part of a more significant movement that holds companies to a higher standard.
These funds often play an active role in promoting transparency, ethical leadership, and environmental responsibility through shareholder voting and engagement.
It’s about using your investment power to nudge corporations toward better practices—not just in profits, but in how they operate and treat people.
At Ironwood Financial, we help you explore socially responsible investment funds that engage in this kind of shareholder activism—whether it’s advocating for cleaner supply chains, diversity on boards, or better labor conditions.
While individual investors may not always have a seat at the table, your portfolio can still support meaningful accountability when it’s built on funds that are paying attention, asking hard questions, and pushing for change.
We walk you through which funds are doing that work and how it aligns with your values so that you can feel more connected to both your investments and their influence.
Some of the companies most favored by socially responsible investment funds tend to have something in common: long-term thinking.
These businesses often focus on environmental sustainability, ethical leadership, and accountable governance—not because it’s trendy, but because it can lead to more substantial, more stable operations over time.
That kind of mindset can contribute to greater resilience, especially when markets become volatile or unpredictable.
At Ironwood Financial, we assist clients in evaluating socially responsible investment funds not just for their values but also for how those values translate into real-world financial characteristics, like lower debt, stronger risk controls, and better crisis response.
While no investment is immune to downturns, companies with a forward-thinking approach to ESG issues may be better prepared for long-term challenges.
Our job is to help you find those opportunities and integrate them into a portfolio that reflects both your goals and your guardrails.
One of the lesser-known advantages of socially responsible investment funds is that they can be used across a wide range of tax-advantaged accounts, including IRAs, Roth IRAs, and donor-advised funds.
That flexibility allows you to align your values without losing sight of smart tax strategy, which is especially important in retirement planning or during high-income years.
At Ironwood Financial, we help clients explore how socially responsible investment funds can be positioned for long-term tax efficiency.
Whether it’s harvesting losses in taxable accounts, using ESG-aligned funds inside a Roth IRA for growth potential, or directing charitable giving through investment-based vehicles, our process is built around both your goals and your after-tax outcomes.
You don’t have to choose between doing good and being smart—we assist you in building a portfolio that aims for both.
Investing isn’t just about numbers on a screen—it’s about what those numbers represent. For many of our clients, socially responsible investment funds offer something more than potential growth.
They offer a more profound sense of alignment. It’s knowing that your wealth isn’t working against your beliefs, but rather supporting the kind of world you want to help shape.
That personal connection can bring a level of satisfaction that purely performance-driven investing rarely delivers.
At Ironwood Financial, we help you build a strategy that supports both your financial well-being and your sense of purpose.
When we walk clients through their portfolio and they see actual companies making a real impact, while also pursuing long-term financial goals, it adds a meaningful dimension to the planning process.
You don’t have to wonder where your money is going or worry whether it’s contradicting your values. With the right socially responsible investment funds, you get to feel good about what you’re building—and why you’re building it.
