Making money and making a difference is not an either / or decision.
Socially responsible investing, which operates on the basic tenant of “do no harm,” has been a popular option for many years. A newer phenomenon, however, is Impact Investing. This type of strategy takes it one step further, attempting not only to “do no harm,” but to “do good.”
Impact investing is becoming a powerful force in the world of investing and philanthropy. It allows individuals to invest in enterprises that not only return a profit, but also make a positive impact in the world. The focus of these investments vary greatly – from providing goods and services designed to improve people’s lives to creating more environmentally sustainable timber industries.
The phenomenon of Impact Investing has incredible potential.
The number of Impact Investing options is increasing every day. Individuals can focus on specific industries, geographies, and social issues.
If you’re interested in aligning your philanthropic efforts with your investment goals, Impact Investing is something to consider. I am familiar with the most progressive participants in this space and would be happy to discuss potential opportunities.
