SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE
INVESTING:
Socially Responsible, also
called Socially Conscious Investing is the process of only investing in companies that
meet the investor's standards of ethics and operational habits.
Usually socially conscious
investors invest in companies that are environment friendly and not involved in businesses
that are perceived to harm the general population such as many fuel companies, casinos,
alcohol and tobacco.
HOW IT
HELPS:
When you invest in socially conscious investments you are helping social causes in two
important ways: First, you are assisting socially conscious companies by investing in them
and secondly you are sending a message to other companies that socially responsible
investing pays off.
FINANCIAL REWARD:
Socially Conscious Investing is not all charity, it can and should be profitable as well.
Surprising to many Wall Street watchers, who used to believe that socially responsible
investing was a fad or a foolish proposition, social funds have done quite well in recent
years. As of April 1, 2000 The Calvert Social Investment Equity Fund had an average three
year return of 22.16%, proving that responsible investing can pay off in more ways
than saving the world.
HOW TO
INVEST RESPONSIBLY:
There are several ways to invest socially responsibly. Most notably, some mutual fund
companies specialize in socially conscious investing. Several money management firms also
specialize in socially conscious investing. Another way to invest is to actually buy the
stocks of socially conscious companies.
