Doing What’s Best for Your Portfolio and Our Planet

The global issues we face are real: a warming planet, a growing gap between rich and poor, inequalities among race and gender, and doubts that our generation will hand off a sustainable environment for future generations. With the rise of all these pressing issues, more of our clients are turning to Impact Investing to fund causes they care about and generate positive returns to fund their legacy.

Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN) defines impact as investments made into companies, organizations and funds with the intention to generate measurable social and environmental impact alongside a financial return. The goals are long-term sustainability, to identify and adopt specific impact objectives, define a strategy, monitor effectiveness against impact and returns, and refine the strategy based on results and shifting priorities.
