Event Description: What is Impact Investing and why is it a critical approach to driving investment performance and mitigating investment risk in the 21st Century and beyond? Seminar with Joy Pettirossi-Poland and Paul Herman Across the S&P500, 84% of the S&P 500 stock market valuation is driven by factors that are not accurately captured on the financial statements and typically ignored by investors, analysts, advisers and fund managers. More than 20 quantifiable factors creating cash flow and profit, or lessening risk, are not used by Wall Street experts. Most financial analysis focuses on historical results, but not all the forward looking sources and drivers of shareholder value creation. Also, no common standard is used by Wall Street investors for measuring net beneficial impact on society. Join us in this seminar to learn about the HIP (Human Impact and Profit) Investment Ratings and what is really driving investment performance and risk in the 21st century.
