Dear readers,
Many people wish to invest their money in a way that will have a positive impact on society as well as maximizing their return on investment.
Accordingly, in tomorrow’s post, I wish to commence a series of discussions based around the topic of Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), otherwise known a ethical investing, a concept whereby investors take social or environmental factors into account when making investment decisions.
At this point, the precise number of posts and range of topics which will be included in this series has not been finalized, and as valued readers, please feel free to advise me about any specific issues which you would like to see covered in this series.
As a guide, this series will deal with the following issues:
(1) How to define ethical investing or SRI;
(2) Different types of ethical investing and different approaches toward SRI;
(3) Whether or not investors should indeed take ethical considerations into account when making investment decisions;
(4) The effect of Socially Responsible Investing upon corporate behavior;
(5) How ethical investments fare against regular investments in terms of financial returns; and
(6) How to go become a socially responsible investor.
For the purpose of this series, SRI will be referred to interchangeably as Socially Responsible Investing, SRI or ethical investing.
