The Investor’s Toolkit

This paper offers an introduction to the concept of managing financial assets using a strategy that maximizes not only economic performance, but also social and environmental returns. Here we explore the current state of this evolving investment approach, as well as the logic driving its inevitable expansion. This work is intended to broaden understanding of the diverse investment vehicles presently available, as well as to analyze how these trends might play out for different types of investors—and the future of financial asset management as a field.
