Welcome @GivingStrong You're right. A wise CIO once said that to me: every investment has an impact. Do you want yours to be positive or negative? @Cogent_PBC #cogentchat @BushFoundation
A2 How can it not matter? If all investments have consequences - positive and negative - then why not think about that impact and whether it aligns with your values. Gender lens investing; racial equity investing; climate... #CogentChat #impinv

A4 --SRI or Socially Responsible Investing is sometimes called negative screening. Think of the divestment movements. For more info, see yesterday’s article in the WSJ and talk with @AlixMagner! #cogentchat @Cogent_PBC @AlixMagner @MissionInvest @CFAMN @ImpactInvestMSP

Replying to @Cogent_PBC
A4) I believe that SRI original stood for "Socially Responsible Investing" - it's now used to encompass "Sustainable, Responsible and Impact". I'm a Chartered SRI Counselor! #cogentchats #sri

Q2 Answered! Get ready for the next question #CogentChat
A2-Impact Investing matters because our world’s problems are big. Donations are great but aren’t enough. We need to use all our assets for a positive impact, especially now. #cogentchat @Cogent_PBC @MissionInvest #impactinvesting
