SRI Stock Options (Part 5)

Tony Edwards March 3, 2011 Everything Else, My Published Articles, Stocks, Mutual Fund and ETF Options

I recently watched the 2003 documentary ‘The Corporation’ again, a film that inevitably gets me thinking about switching careers. But for now I will continue to believe that it’s better to incite change from my position inside the investment industry rather than just throwing my hands up in resignation. I …

SRI Stock Options (Part 4)

Tony Edwards March 3, 2011 Everything Else, My Published Articles, Stocks, Mutual Fund and ETF Options

I’m not very comfortable with the word ‘ethical’, particularly when used beside the word ‘corporation’? A corporation is a thing, in this case a legal structure, so how can it be classified as ethical or not? So an oil company, at its essence simply an owner or tenant on land …

SRI Stock Options (Part 3)

Tony Edwards March 3, 2011 Everything Else, My Published Articles, Stocks, Mutual Fund and ETF Options

Over the years, a fair number of my clients have rolled their eyes and slumped in their chairs when presented with so-called ‘ethical’ investment options.

With global financial markets unravelling and being reconstructed, near-unanimous recognition that many aspects of human economic activity are putting our planet in peril, and new leadership in the US pledging to support science and the environment, surely the time has finally come for the ascension of ‘green’ business.

Shades of Green

Tony Edwards July 1, 2008 Ethical Investing - General Background, Everything Else, My Published Articles, Stocks, Mutual Fund and ETF Options

These are fascinating times for those of us working in the field of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI). The themes surrounding SRI have been evolving for almost 50 years now, from Ralph Nader’s fight on behalf of auto safety standards in the 60’s, to faith-based campaigns to divest from South African …
