Sustainability and Investing
Credits
2
Sustainability has emerged as a key strategic driver of value for companies, and a focus for many investors as well. Sustainable investing is a positive investment philosophy that seeks opportunities, and is thus distinct from the previous generation of socially responsible practices, which focused on screening out undesirable investments. This course will cover the metrics involved with this growing practice, especially as it pertains to financial measurement of environmental factors. Students will actively participate in the creation of sustainable portfolios, while reviewing how sustainability affects all asset classes, regions and public policy. Guest speakers to be included as available.
