October 18, 2017 By TriplePundit.com

By Logan Yonavjak Research shows that the majority of venture capital (VC) investments go bust.

Why Investors are Still Missing the Mark on ESG Integration

August 23, 2017 By TriplePundit.com

By Chat Reynders The notion that environmental, social, and governance (ESG) analysis is a complement to – not a substitute for – fundamental security analysis is nothing new. However, ESG has now become a buzzword and a check-box across much of the investment industry. More investment products and managers are touting the fact that ESG […]

August 21, 2017 By TriplePundit.com

By Abha Malpani We are seeing a paradigm shift in consciousness that has the potential to mobilize private wealth for public good, and transform the social impact sector as we know it.

May 30, 2017 By TriplePundit.com

The 2017 season for corporate annual reports and general meetings is in full swing. And the overarching question for companies is how to reconcile dueling visions of corporate purpose: sustainable long-termism versus short-term shareholder value maximization. Unilever CEO Paul Polman recently gave some insight into his company’s investment roadmap in an interview with CNBC. “In the […]

What You Need to Know About New ESG Fund Ratings

May 9, 2017 By TriplePundit.com

By Janet Brown  What makes a fund sustainable? Many people think that sustainable means environmentally friendly, but sustainable investing actually covers three broad categories: environmental, social and governance (ESG). Environmental issues are typically the most widely understood, but social and governance policies are just as important. A socially responsible company seeks to treat its workers […]

Is Trump the Tipping Point for Ethical Investing?

March 2, 2017 By TriplePundit.com

By Joshua Levin You may have voted against U.S. President Donald Trump, protested his policies, and ranted to your friends. Yet most of us are financing him and his agenda. With any typical investment account, 401(k) or pension, Americans indirectly fund their opposition parties and directly finance polarizing activities such as weapons production, private prisons, and […]

Investors Put Over $8B Into Conservation: Can It Continue in the Trump Era?

January 31, 2017 By TriplePundit.com

By Kelley Hamrick On a mild, rainy day in Washington, D.C., America inaugurated its 45th president. The incoming administration represents a fundamental shift from the outgoing Obama administration. And the White House website was updated accordingly. Instead of a clean-energy future, WhiteHouse.gov now announces: “President Trump is committed to eliminating harmful and unnecessary policies such as the […]

January 19, 2017 By TriplePundit.com

By Jamie Garuti This past May, a new world of possibilities opened up for social entrepreneurs around the country.

How to Move Sustainable Investing Into the Spotlight

January 18, 2017 By TriplePundit.com

I am new to the world of sustainable investments. For the last 25 years, before joining the Climate Trust, my career was centered almost exclusively on timberland investing. The corollaries between sustainable and timberland investing may not be apparent at first, but U.S. timberland investing is based almost entirely on sustainable forestry. In fact, most […]

The Quiet Progress of Green Property Funds

December 15, 2016 By TriplePundit.com

At the nexus between property developers and today’s socially-conscious investors stands an increasingly persuasive investment choice. Called a green property fund or impact fund, it’s an influential way for investment managers in emerging markets to match developers with those who aspire to both profits and positive change. The concept is simple: Fundraise from third-party clients […]

Why is Nobody Talking About Financial Advisors?

November 2, 2016 By TriplePundit.com

By Tyler Jackson If we want environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors to permeate all layers of the financial system, we need to talk about financial advisors. As Jessica Matthews, head of mission-related investing at Cambridge Associates, said at SOCAP16, “We need to think of advisors as a gateway, rather than a gatekeeper to impact […]

Stranded Assets: Preventing the Next Era of Climate Change

October 4, 2016 By TriplePundit.com

By Joyce Coffee I first heard the term “stranded assets” at a Bloomberg event in New York City during Climate Week 2014.  For me, the term conjured up images of homeowners and their dogs waiting atop roofs to be rescued during Hurricane Katrina.  Yet that didn’t seem right for the context of the discussion, and […]

OpenInvest, a new investing platform that beta-launched at SOCAP16, aims to transform investing by putting the power of ethical investing into each investor’s hand.

I’m Over Doing Good

May 3, 2016 By TriplePundit.com

By Patsy Doerr As global head of corporate responsibility and inclusion for Thomson Reuters, I can proudly say, “I’m over doing good.” These critical issues: diversity and inclusion, sustainability, gender, corporate social responsibility and philanthropy, which were once delegated as HR issues or a ‘nice to have’ are no longer optional.  Pushing the corporate responsibility […]

Peabody Energy declared bankruptcy last week. Some were surprised; others not so much. One such investor is Dale Wannen, founder of socially-responsible hedge fund Sustainvest Asset Management, who has been shorting Peabody stock for months.

Why Policy Change is the Only Way to Open Impact Investing Floodgates

July 7, 2015 By TriplePundit.com

Bain Capital and Blackrock have created dedicated impact practices. High net-worth individuals and family offices are gathering to share deals, ideas and experiences. Foundations are sharing best practices. And yet, the amount of dollars invested in real projects and actual businesses is still a minuscule percentage of all invested capital. What’s holding us back?

Women Rule: Why the Future of Social, Sustainable and Impact Investing is in Female Hands

April 30, 2015 By TriplePundit.com

By Marta Maretich In the early days of the social investing movement, women and girls were arguably seen more as program beneficiaries than financial movers and shakers. Social lenders changed their view when they realized that focusing initiatives like microfinance lending on women turned out to be the most effective way to make whole communities […]

Culture vs. the Ethical Bank

April 28, 2015 By TriplePundit.com

By Vince Siciliano UBS. JPMorgan Chase. Wells Fargo. Barclays. And now, HSBC. Since the U.S. mortgage meltdown, “big banks,” titans of global business, have continually been caught in ethical failings. Tax avoidance, interest rate manipulation, commodity and currency speculation, and money laundering, among other charges, have all surfaced — calling into question banks’ ability to […]

Etsy and the B Corp IPO: Sustainability Meets Wall Street

April 27, 2015 By TriplePundit.com

By Peri Schweiger and Jackie Marcus Corporate responsibility professionals have had a not-so-secret crush on investors for years. However, the investment community has been playing hard-to-get. There have been glimmers of interest – socially responsible investment funds, a few bold shareholder resolutions – but little signal from the broader community that a real relationship was […]

Is the Public Etsy Still Part of the Sharing Economy?

April 24, 2015 By TriplePundit.com

Etsy’s IPO took Wall Street by storm last week. The conversation was peppered with questions about whether or not a company that claims to be “a mindful, transparent and humane business” could succeed on Wall Street, a space where these adjectives are rarely used. Yet, this is not the question I’ll ask today. Instead, I’ll focus on is whether […]

April 17, 2015 By TriplePundit.com

By Marta Maretich Definitions — we are so over them in the social investing sector. I mean, we wrangled over those darn meanings for years: ethical investing, responsible investing, socially responsible investing, triple- and double-bottom-line investing, green investing, sustainable investing and finally — boom! — impact investing.
