Solution introduction
With issues such as climate change and deepening social injustices crossing into the sphere of personal finance, investors increasingly want to know where their money is going and what good it is doing
As such, there has been a seismic shift towards Responsible Investment (RI)
RI is where managers actively and intentionally seek to do good, avoid doing harm and lead change by investing in companies which are helping to meet the world’s most pressing challenges, whilst avoiding harm or seeking to improve those which perpetuate our problems.
Responsible Investor Types
At Square Mile, we see RI as an umbrella term from which stems a spectrum of differing investment approaches. These range from those which exclude certain sectors to those that are focused on positive and measurable impact to society and/or the environment. We have identified four pillars to RI that we believe helps to ascertain the type of investor your client may be. These are not mutually exclusive, but it’s helpful to identify which approach best resonates with you.
