IMHO investments, LLC is a new internet based investment advisor firm that specializes in translating their clients values into Socially Responsible Investments. They are focused on helping the average investor, people with less than $250,000 to invest.

(PRWEB) May 19, 2004 -- Investing is a scary business right now. The stock market is volatile at best, and often headed in the wrong direction. Company ethics and governance are questionable -- solid Fortune 500 companies are treading the fine line between smart business and criminal behavior far too often.

IMHO investments, LLC (www.imhoinvestments.com) is a new investment advising company that aims at helping the average investor navigate these muddy waters. We believe that the average investor needs to think differently about how they invest in todays environment", says Reathel Geary, registered financial consultant and co-founder of IMHO investments.

Unlike most investment advisors, IMHO investments targets the average investor, people with $10,000 or $100,000 to invest. Most advisors prefer clients with at least a quarter million dollars in their pocket", says Geary. Our goal is to help people grow towards a quarter million dollars. In todays investment climate, we believe the average investor can really benefit from some professional help".

With many companies making the news for unethical business practices, IMHO investments also believes it is important for clients to have a voice in the kinds of companies they invest in. Its not enough to invest based on financial performance", says Geary. Investors deserve to know about other aspects of the companies they hold. What are their corporate governance standards? Do they treat their employees well?"

This investing approach, sometimes referred to as socially responsible investing (SRI), also allows clients to invest based on non-financial criteria. SRI mutual funds let investors screen on issues as varied as pollution, womens issues, or sexual orientation discrimination. This is one of the fastest growing trends in investing", says Geary. We call it opinionated investing -- helping clients to invest in companies that share their views on what is important. It is just one more way for people to vote with their dollars."

IMHO investments believes that this approach will be attractive to an audience that traditionally has not used investment advisors. We started this company for people like us -- people who have a little money, a lot of opinions", says Geary, who is 32 and a new dad. We took our scattered investments, our growing financial needs, and our values, and melded them into a coherent investment strategy. We were our first clients."
