Know what Wayne Wachell and Leslie Cliff had to say about Sustainable Investment to Montecristo Magazine.
Today, the idea of socially responsible investing (SRI) has grown beyond questions of morality—and, as it relates to our modern world, strategies have become much more sophisticated. No longer are stocks or funds chosen strictly on the basis of right or wrong; now an analytical score often measures a company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance—or even its enduring impact on the planet. And the field of sustainable investing—a strategy that incorporates both ESG and SRI investing—has undeniably moved from the shadows into the spotlight: assets of sustainable mutual funds and ETFs (exchange traded funds) reached $1.6 trillion (U.S.) by the end of 2019, up from just over $100 billion in 2009.
