As the World Evolves: Making an Impact Through Values-based Investing
About this event
At Brighton Jones, we believe in helping our clients align their money with their passions, purpose, and values. Our Women Living a Richer Life Community has helped us explore the ways this can mean different things to different individuals and families. For some, it means ensuring their invested capital is being used to make a positive societal or environment impact in addition to providing a rate of return. But, what exactly does this mean and how does it work?
To help make sense of the world of impact investing, we are excited to host a discussion with John Streur, Chairman of Calvert Research & Management, a leader in impact investing for over 40 years. John delivered a powerful performance in our Seattle office five years ago as he shared Calvert’s views on important issues, discussed the firm’s approach to engaging with business and political leaders around the world, offered suggestions for what we can do as individuals to have a greater impact on the world, and explained how all of these factors can intersect with one’s investment portfolio. Discover John’s updated perspectives and observations from the past few years in all these areas in his return visit.
