How does Advocacy Investing® build on traditional Socially Responsible Investing?

Traditional Socially Responsible Investing (SRI)
By screening out “sin stocks,” most socially responsible mutual funds afford socially conscious investors with modest investable assets an opportunity to give voice to their values. But portfolios that are not broadly diversified do not deliver the highest risk-adjusted investment returns. Moreover, mutual funds are unlikely to reflect any specific investor’s core beliefs or mission. For the client with significant investable assets, there is a better way.
