Consultants in Responsible Investing show MRI opportunities abound
Lisa Hagerman, Monday, April 6th, 2009
A group of 35 consultants and other stakeholders from across the country gathered at Boston College to discuss the field of responsible investing consulting at a one-day event, "The Evolution of Responsible Investment Consulting." The conveners, David Wood, Director of the Boston College Institute for Responsible Investment (IRI), and Valerie LaVoie, Research Associate at the IRI brought together a distinguished group of investment consultants ranging from larger consultants to the boutique firms all engaged at varying levels in broadly, advising their clients on responsible investing strategies and investment opportunities. The range of consultants included those with clients across different types of institutional investors including foundations, private and public pension funds. The day included thoughtful discussion and exchange on the state of the field and definitional issues, crafting a methodology in responsible investing, and tools needed to advance the field on both the demand and supply side.
The lively discussion showed that there is a growing pipeline of product offerings across both the public and private markets by asset classes targeting market-rate financial returns along with ancillary social impacts.
