Values-based investing, Socially Responsible Investing, ESG, and Faith-Based Investing are all descriptions of investing styles that have gathered tremendous positive and negative attention over the past decade. Rarely, however, do people have a framework for understanding how these investing styles work and why people are drawn to them. This presentation will explain the emotional drivers that make these styles attractive and build a framework for understanding the dimensions of how investors implement these styles into their portfolios.
