Sustainable & Responsible Investing 360°

Lessons Learned from World Class Investors

Description

Discover why the world's leading Sustainable and Responsible investors choose to invest for good - while making market returns.
Sustainable & Responsible Investing 360° is a compelling read for anyone interested in pursuing an investment strategy for positive social, environmental, and ethical impact – at market rate returns. With climate change, social justice, and political divisions at the forefront of today’s headlines, the stories and tactics of Sustainable and Responsible Investing have become not only mainstream but exceptionally relevant to the next generation of investors.
Recognizing the powerful impact that Sustainable and Responsible investing can have on these societal, economic, and environmental challenges, Scott Arnell has identified and connected with 26 of the world’s leading Sustainable and Responsible Investment experts, engaging in comprehensive conversations to reveal their unique investment journeys, approaches, experiences, tips, strategies, and insights.
Arnell’s interviewees have more than 700 years of combined professional investment experience with trillions in assets under management. Somewhere along their professional journey, each made a personal and professional commitment to use investing as a proactive force for good. Now they reap not just financial rewards but gain profound satisfaction knowing that they are helping improve the world and the lives of those in it. “My goal in researching and writing this book,” Arnell explains, “was to reveal how these experts integrate non-financial criteria into their investment decisions to successfully achieve environmental and social impact in the world alongside market-rate financial returns. I also wanted readers to understand how the individual life voyages of these leading investors led them to commit to engaging exclusively in Sustainable and Responsible investing, hopefully inspiring others to reflect on their own investing philosophies.”

I recommend Sustainable & ResponsibleInvesting 360° to any investor who cares about creating a better future for communities everywhere.

Sir Ronald Cohen, Chair, Global Steering Group for Impact Investment
If you’re clinging to the notion that sustainable investors want to save the world while torching their portfolios, think again. In this robust overview, adviser R. Scott Arnell argues that you can do well by your portfolio by doing good for the world. He spells out how investors are rethinking their role in economies, while also reporting that sustainably managed companies and responsibly developed projects are achieving higher returns. The bottom line, Arnell reports, is that investors from all over the world and in all asset classes are taking a much harder look at the costs of a company’s business model.

Paul Shoemaker, Founding President of Social Venture Partners International
Every page of this highly readable book is proof positive that Socially Responsible and Impact investing is no longer just a niche, but has become mainstream. It is clear that evaluating environmental and societal equity effects when allocating capital is increasingly as important in forecasting expected returns as the prevailing level of interest rates and earnings growth.

James Ellman, founder of Seacliff Capital, LLC and author of Hot Stocks: Investing for Impact and Profit in a Warming World
Sustainable & Responsible Investing 360° presents readers with a diverse selection of game-changing leaders and innovators in the sustainable, responsible and impact investing world across several major asset classes. In twenty-seven interviews, Scott Arnell lets these professional investors explain how they align their portfolios with their values and the investment strategies they use to positively transform the world while achieving competitive financial returns. Investing for impact is no longer just for high-net-worth individuals… it’s mainstream and required to be competitive.
