When many investors act in concert, the power of the share can make itself felt on a global scale. IPAM puts the power of the share to work offering clients the opportunity to invest for both social progress and financial return. Socially responsible investors are selective investors. They avoid companies that pollute, discriminate, impose unsafe working conditions and produce nuclear weapons, among other criteria. They choose to invest in businesses that actively benefit society and the environment or, at the least, whose impact is neutral.
Social investment makes good financial sense.
Companies that do not follow socially and environmentally responsible practices tend to give up a portion of their earnings to regulatory pressures, fines, strikes and boycotts. Therefore, those committed to social investment believe that the best long-term investments combine positive social and financial performance. IPAM's Investment Consultants offer clients the opportunity to invest in the major socially responsible mutual funds, as well as individually screened stocks, bonds, and retirement accounts. The PAM network also provides comprehensive financial consulting services to institutional investors and individual investors with larger portfolios. After selection of one or more managers, PAM continues to monitor the portfolios' financial and social performance.
