Savvy investors know money holds the power to enact change for the greater good. So, it’s no surprise that socially responsible investing (SRI) has seen 40% growth year-over-year according to a study from US SIF.
What is Socially Responsible Investing?
When you think of investment decisions, your immediate thought goes to ROI. What’s going to bring the biggest profit? However, increasingly, we’re seeing investors choose to invest their money in companies and funds whose values align with a greater social purpose.
In the same way that we’re seeing consumers make values-based decisions with their wallets, investors are increasingly making values-based decisions with their assets. They care about whether a company practices corporate responsibility or if they invest any profits back into the community. Morgan Stanley released a striking article just this week detailing the urgent of the climate change crisis and the role investors can play in saving the world – and the economy.
Those guided by SRI don’t simply invest based on performance metrics, rather they look to make investment decisions that will both generate a financial return and align ethically with their values.
