Do you have money to invest?

July 29, 2008 · Filed Under Uncategorized 

If you have a little extra money and you care about our environment, you need to socially responsible invest.

What is “social investing?”

Integrating your personal, social, and environmental concerns with your financial considerations is called socially responsible investing (SRI).

SRI is investing and saving to help in creating a better world. SRI is building healthy communities, promoting economic equity and fostering a clean environment. SRI is investing in corporate businesses that have these societal concerns. SRI is choosing the businesses that will seek what is best for keeping our earth healthy.SRI is the businesses that will not only think to maximize their finances but especially the social good.

Not only do I think this investing movement will be booming, I see no other option we can take. Will we invest in our bank account or will we invest in humanity and its sustainability?

If you would like to socially invest today, there is a wide variety of high-performing funds to choose from. You will also find balanced funds, and a wide variety of equity funds, including those that focus on large companies, mid-sized companies, small companies, and companies in other countries. Before investing, be sure to read the prospectus and understand the risks. If you need help in learning more about SRI and your options, check out this site.

    Great post on socially responsible investing!

    When we invest in a company, or many companies in the case of a mutual fund, we share in the responsibility for the activities of those companies as well as participate in the outcomes of their corporate activities. Anyone valuing their personal or spiritual growth has to take these things into account when investing.

    I believe that if everyone does invest according to their personal values, then, since so many of core values are alike — and are supportive of higher ideals — that in the long run, only companies employing these higher values will truly prosper.

    I’ve been following socially responsible investing for about forty years. For anyone interested I have a site that covers the latest global news and research on the subject. It’s at http://investingforthesoul.com/

    Best wishes, Ron Robins

    One other way for social investing is the micro bank loans. They pay interest for you loaning money to people to start low cost business. They seem to de very well and pay better than bank or cds.
