Institutional Investor Announces The 2nd Annual Forum on Socially Responsible Investing, Jan 24 2008, NYC
The trend towards the mainstreaming of responsible investing continues on its upward curve: nearly one out of every 10 dollars under management in the U.S. today is part of a responsibly invested portfolio (Social Investment Forum), and climate change remains high on the political agenda. But when it comes to disclosures, how much is 'green washing' and how much is true compliance? Is there such a thing as green alpha, and where can it be found? What investment vehicles are available for ESG integration beyond traditional screening methods, and who is using them? This forum will debate these issues and more.
