Description
From three of the founders of the field of socially responsible investing, and the authors of the pioneering volume Ethical Investing, here is a completely up-to-date guide that teaches you how to create an investment portfolio that makes money without making you sacrifice your principles. Peter D. Kinder, Steven D. Lydenberg, and Amy L. Domini have made careers of identifying investment opportunities that respect clients' social and political interests and have a strong track record that proves you can invest profitably and still respect your conscience. Now they explain their strategies in a book that allows individual investors to guide their own course or better communicate with their own investment counselor. Using their techniques, you can select, research, and screen companies according to a list of criteria that distinguishes publicly traded companies by the soundness of their policies in areas you care about - whether the companies are "green" or have defense contracts, what their employee practices are, if they test products on animals, where their overseas investments go, and much more. Investors will also be able to use these principles and strategies to control and direct their assets, whether they choose to invest in mutual funds, pension funds, or stocks and bonds. Pension fund managers and other institutional investors have discovered socially responsible investing. Investments in socially screened vehicles increased ten-fold to $500 billion in the last eight years. The authors' Domini 400 Social Index fueled some of this demand by offering investors the first broad-based index to track U.S. common stocks. Now, with this new book, everyone has the opportunity to use his or her money wisely and still be responsible to society's needs.
