Ethical Leadership
The Ethical Leadership Portfolio is designed to invest in companies that follow best-practice corporate governance, competitive behavior, and risk management principles, and provide equal treatment of stakeholders. We include in this portfolio companies that demonstrate management’s ability to interact with regulators, resolve conflict between corporate and societal interests, act responsibly in times of crises, and avoid anti-competitive behavior, such as collusion, fraud, and corruption.

Performance Chart
All performance information is of the Portfolio Manager account, net of management fees.
All performance information is of the Portfolio Manager account net of management fees, and not of any investing client accounts.
Actual client returns will differ based on client-specified security exclusions, client cash flow behavior (investments and divestments), and trading restrictions placed on client accounts by brokerage.
The management fees applicable to Interactive Advisors proprietary portfolios are actually charged to
the Interactive Advisors accounts managing those portfolios, whereas the management fees applicable to
Portfolio Manager portfolios are applied retroactively as simulated fees to the Portfolio Manager account returns (as
Interactive Advisors does not manage or control these accounts) for purposes of this net-of-fees performance presentation only.
Performance, composition and volatility could vary significantly from that of the benchmark(s), which are
provided for illustrative purposes only.
This information was calculated up to May 31, 2023.

Estimate your costs
All costs shown are estimated and consist of the annual management fee applicable to the specific portfolio displayed. We compute the annual management fee applicable to your investments daily and charge it to you monthly in arrears or in conjunction with a withdrawal.
On a daily basis, the applicable fee associated with each portfolio you invest in will be applied to the end-of-day gross market value of your investment in that portfolio and the resulting amount will be divided by 365. At the end of each month, you will be charged a fee made up of the sum of all daily fees calculated during that month for each portfolio investment. The more assets you invest in a given portfolio with us, the higher the amount of the annual fee charged to you.
No trading commissions apply to trading in any of the portfolios due to the IBKR-LITE commissions structure we have selected for all of your clients. For portfolios including ETFs, additional expense ratios will need to be paid to the ETF issuer and they are not included in this calculation.
Portfolio information
We use detailed third party data for business classification and Environmental Social and Governance (ESG) metrics in our portfolio screening and construction process. We use data from multiple vendors - one vendor that evaluates company disclosed data in annual reports, exchange filings and company websites, and another vendor that gleans information parsed from trade blogs, industry publications and social media using natural language processing and artificial intelligence algorithms.
We include companies with above average leadership and governance composite scores including risk management, business ethics, competitive behavior, and management of the legal & regulatory environment. We exclude companies with the highest levels of business ethics controversies.
The portfolio is constructed using a rules-based algorithm to determine position allocations. Allocations are weighted based on how well they score on the particular Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) metric. The portfolio is rebalanced quarterly.
Sell decisions are based only upon the quarterly rebalance criteria. Every quarter the portfolio is rebalanced to target weights.
Positions in stocks undergoing corporate actions may be sold or adjusted.

Disclosures
Past performance is no guarantee of future results, and all investments, including those in this portfolio, involve the risk of loss, including loss of principal and a reduction in earnings.
This portfolio was launched on Interactive Advisors on July 17, 2020. On that date, Interactive Advisors started trading its own funds in a brokerage account trading this strategy. This portfolio was opened to client investments on July 17, 2020. All performance information on this page is actual performance of the Interactive Advisors proprietary account and presented “net of fees”. The actual performance chart is provided for informational purposes only, and should not be used as the basis for making an investment decision. Actual client returns will differ.
The ESG variants of the Smart Beta and Asset Allocation Portfolios and the Socially Responsible Investing portfolios use an Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) investment strategy. Such a strategy could limit the types and number of investment opportunities available to this portfolio, lead the portfolio to underperform a portfolio without an ESG focus or with a distinct ESG focus, and result in the portfolio investing in securities or industry sectors that underperform the market as a whole or foregoing opportunities to invest in securities that might otherwise be advantageous to invest in. Interactive Advisors could also be unsuccessful in creating a portfolio investing in stocks of companies or ETFs made up of companies that exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics and the ETF manager (or the provider of the index the ETF seeks to track) may not succeed in selecting issuers that exhibit positive or favorable ESG characteristics in constructing the ETFs.
Additional information on the risks, conflicts of interest, applicable brokerage commissions, fractional shares, and limitations on investments and divestments associated with this portfolio can be found here and on the Forms and Agreements page.
