12/14/2016 – Speaker Series – The Evolution of ESG and Impact Investing
The Forum for Sustainable and Responsible Investment website states, “Sustainable, responsible and impact investing (SRI) is an investment discipline that considers environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) criteria to generate long-term competitive financial returns and positive societal impact.”
Join Orange County Advisors in Philanthropy (OC AiP) for a lunchtime Speakers Series program on Wednesday, December 14, as Louis P. Abel, chief investment officer at First Foundation Advisors, provides a meaningful update on this important trend that has gone from niche to mainstream. He will address what it means for the philanthropic and investment landscape. By the conclusion of the program, you will have learned:
- How to make sense of the “alphabet soup” of terms
- The different generations of ESG investing
- How ESG is shifting from a niche strategy to an essential aspect of traditional investing
- Current approaches to impact investing in the philanthropy space
