New York, NY (PRWEB) February 16, 2014 -- Cornerstone Capital Inc. announced today the addition of Phil Kirshman, CFA, CFP®, to its leadership team, effective immediately.

In his new role, Phil serves as Chief Investment Officer of Cornerstone Capital Investment Management, with responsibility for overseeing the Firm’s Private Client Wealth Management investment strategies. Phil will be based in Denver, CO, expanding Cornerstone Capital’s geographic reach and opening up new business opportunities for the Firm.

“We’re delighted to have Phil on board and are excited to capitalize on the market growth potential afforded by his joining our leadership team,” said Erika Karp, founder and CEO of Cornerstone Capital. “By expanding our service offerings to include private wealth management, with a focus on institutional clients, family offices and others, we’re now in a strong position to meet the growing market demand for professionally managed and direct sustainable investing solutions across all asset classes. We believe Cornerstone Capital, with our proprietary due diligence expertise and institutional heritage, truly open architecture investment platform, and objective, unconstrained consulting model is uniquely positioned to respond to this fast-growing market segment,” she added.

We expect to deliver to our clients the most robust, well-rounded investment process and suite of solutions available in the marketplace today. It’s a tremendous opportunity for us to leverage our strength and resources as investors towards a more sustainable future for all of us. I’m thrilled to be able to play a small part in that.”

Looking to the future, Cornerstone Capital Group believes that the global macroeconomic imperatives of our day demand the investment power of the private sector. Investing with a systematic analysis of these environmental, social and governance issues is essential to properly understand risk-adjusted returns. This investment discipline will become further institutionalized and accelerated as companies and the analysts who follow them become increasingly focused on complex, business-defining challenges. “Being mindful investors, without compromising on our expected financial results, will open new doors for Cornerstone Capital, enabling us to develop new business and reach our growth targets as a company. We’re eager to seize the opportunities ahead,” said Erika Karp.
