Sustainable, Responsible and Impact (SRI) investors
Deploying capital to deliver impact and returns
SRI investors not only aim for strong financial performance, but also believe that their investments should advance social, environmental and governance practices. According to the US SIF (The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment) Foundation’s 2020 Report on US Sustainable and Impact Investing Trends, as of year-end 2019, one out of every three dollars under professional management in the United States was managed according to sustainable investing strategies.
