Tompkins Financial Advisors Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) Fund
The ESG portfolio is a mix of investments that utilize qualitative screens to invest in companies that adhere to the principals of socially responsible investing while delivering long-term capital growth. We have offered a specific internally managed ESG portfolio for more than 10 years, which is quite uncommon in our industry, as these types of portfolios have only reached the mainstream in recent years. Our portfolio performance has been strong over time, with its three-year, five-year and ten-year out-performance relative to the benchmark being greater than 2% on an annualized basis.

No Closing Cost Mortgage
In response to a volatile housing market, Tompkins has created a No Closing Cost Mortgage. The bank pays all non-personal, third-party fees on behalf of the mortgage applicant, bringing more homes into reach for new homeowners and leaving purchasers with more cash on hand for repairs and other expenses. Creating an additional pathway for first-time buyers to realize their dream of owning a home.
