More for Mission members invest in ESG Emerging Markets Product

By Lisa Hagerman, Tuesday, January 26, 2010

Catalyzed by investor demand, innovative products continue to emerge in the field of mission investing. While there has been interest in ESG investing for years there were no options for US investors in the international emerging markets equities beyond negative screening.

Now, after a search conducted by Cambridge Associates, in conjunction with four seed investors, a fund manager has been selected to manage what could be the first U.S.-based co-mingled emerging markets product that will incorporate several SRI strategies including positive ESG screens, negative screens, and corporate engagement. Seed investors thus far include More for Mission members Fetzer Institute and the Meyer Memorial Trust. Several other foundations have also demonstrated interest. Cambridge has indicated that the fund manager will accept investments with a minimum of $1 million to be able to include smaller investors.
