Handbook - Socially Responsible Investing

There is a more recent version of this academic item available.

Overview

Sustainable and socially responsible investing is a multi-trillion-dollar industry and growing. This course builds on ethics components in existing capital market and investments courses by introducing environmental, social responsibility and corporate governance considerations and methods that operationalize them into investment processes, products, and practices. The goal is to educate students socially responsible, ethical, sustainable investing issues, opportunities and challenges and to engage them to discuss and design investment processes, products, and practices that encourage positive changes in the world while also delivering investment returns and fund flow. This course blends finance theory, ethics, industry practices and trends using case study, data analysis, and academic research.
