Ethical Money Makes the World Go Round
Summary
Regardless of your financial resources, socially responsible investment (SRI) can help you achieve your dreams while making a positive impact on the world. SRI allows you to direct your money away from industries that harm the environment, exploit child labor, engage in animal testing, or support oppressive regimes.A Responsible Investment with Returns
Just like any investor, those who invest responsibly seek good returns. However, they also prioritize companies that uphold social and environmental values. Despite limiting investment choices, SRI has not resulted in any consistent underperformance. In fact, these investments often match or exceed market performance.Origins and Growth of SRI
Socially responsible investing began in the USA with Quakers and other concerned individuals refusing to support the arms trade and the Vietnam War. Today, SRI is a rapidly growing sector in the UK, expanding at about 34% annually. Investors include nonprofits, churches, trade unions, universities, and individuals from all backgrounds who are committed to aligning their financial activities with their ethics and values. You don't need vast wealth to participate?"many funds start with a minimum monthly investment of around £50.SRI Strategies
There are two primary strategies in SRI:1. Avoidance Screening: Steering clear of industries with negative practices, such as those involved in discrimination, poor environmental standards, animal testing, weapons contracting, or tobacco.
2. Affirmative Screening: Proactively investing in sectors like alternative energy and natural foods, or in companies committed to their workers, communities, and the environment.
By choosing SRI, your investments not only yield returns but also reflect and promote your personal values.
