November 2017 – The Investment Integration Project produced this new report Effective Investing for the Long Term: Intentionality at Systems Level—written by Steve Lydenberg, William Burckart, and Jessica Ziegler—that examines the strategies that more and more investors are utilizing to act with intentionality to balance efficiency in maximizing self-interested returns with maintaining the resilience of the environmental, societal, and financial systems that are the ultimate source of this wealth creation.
Considerations of long-term value creation are increasingly directing investors’ attention to policies and practices effective in the preserving and enhancing basic environmental, social, and governance systems. This report examines the potential of “tools of intentionality” to facilitate effective impact by investors at these levels and by implication to increase the opportunities for enhancing overall market performance.
A webinar recording during which TIIP and the Intentional Endowments Network explained the findings can be viewed here.
