Make an impact on
future generations

Socially Responsible Investors

Like many investors, you might be concerned about the legacy you will leave to family or to charitable causes. Oftentimes, we think about this legacy purely in dollar terms. However, there are other ways an investor can make an impact on future generations. One is through sustainable or socially responsible investing.

Sustainable investing can take many forms and there is no single agreed-upon definition. You have probably heard terms like socially responsible investing (SRI) or environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing. Another term is impact investing.

It might be that you wish to avoid companies that have negative business practices or that sell harmful products. Or perhaps you wish to invest in companies that promote good corporate stewardship or that seek to minimize their impact on the natural environment.

We are happy to work with you to design an investment program that meets both your financial goals and your impact goals. Whether this involves all of your portfolio or simply a slice, we can help make sense of the various considerations and develop a portfolio that appropriately balances your financial needs with your social and environmental concerns.
