Book Reviews:
"Investing with values is not a contradiction in terms. It's a trillion
dollar, growing industry. INVESTING WITH YOUR VALUES offers a rare
combination: the pragmatic tools of disciplined investing with a thoughtful
methodology for melding difficult financial decisions with fundamental and
cherished personal values." - Joan Shapiro, Former EVP of South Shore
Bank & Consultant,
Corporate Social Responsibility:
"Both visionary and practical, INVESTING WITH YOUR VALUES fuels the growing
urge to unite in the creation of a new, more sustainable economy. As
investors and consumers, everyone has the ability to influence the course
of events in a meaningful way; for every dollar we invest or spend is a
vote for the type of future we want to manifest."
-Steve Schueth, Chair and President, the Social Investment Forum
"Ancient wisdom holds that where a person's treasure is, there shall
his heart be also. Investing With Your Values makes the powerfully
appealing case that the converse can be true, too, and highly rewarding --
a must read for those who yearn for guidance in how to do the right thing
and the smart thing with their treasure."
- Ray Anderson, CEO and Founder , Interface Corpration
INVESTING WITH YOUR VALUES is a comprehensive and inspiring handbook for
individual investors. It belongs on the bookshelf of every person who owns
a mutual fund, is considering owning a mutual fund, or invests in a 401(k)
plan at work. As we prepare to enter the 21st century, we will see Hal
Brill, Jack Brill, and Cliff Feigenbaum's [or, the authors'] "heart
ratings" added to the short list of preferred benchmarks for mutual fund
comparisons.
