Article in May 1, 2006 issue of Business Week:Investing with a Good Conscience: Money managers are offering more socially responsible options, and watchdogs can help you track of which companies are doing good From Standard & Poor's Equity Research April 24, 2006Responsible Investment Forum with Steve Schueth Source Steve Schueth Social Investment Forum, the national nonprofit trade association for the social investment industry, recently published its biennial report on socially responsible investing trends in the United States. The 2005 Trends Report marks the tenth anniversary of the forum's efforts to track the growth and expanding reach of the industry. Of course, calling SRI an "industry" ten years ago would have been a bit of a stretch. But now, with $2.29 trillion in assets in professionally managed portfolios that embrace socially responsible investment practices, I think the term is more than appropriate.
