INVESTMENT SCREENING

In screening investments, it is important that we consider more than just Social Responsibility.  We must also consider those primary reasons that people invest in the first place.
  

u Capital Appreciation
u Growth
u Income
u Tax Benefits

Therefore, it is important that the investment selection process incorporates the following:
 

u Investor's Time Horizon
u Investor's Risk Tolerance
u The Investment Objective
u A Thorough Analysis of the Securities

Depending on the client and those factors listed above, there are a number of alternatives that can be brought to the table.  Another factor that is important in this decision is the size of the account.

PORTFOLIO OF INDIVIDUAL SECURITIES
For accounts with no less than $100,000

A portfolio of individual securities is generally a more direct and more cost efficient way to invest in stocks and/or bonds.  This method of investing may involve some higher degree of risk than other managed accounts, but also offers much more flexibility and more control over the securities in the portfolio.

The greater degree of control lends itself well to the socially responsible investor, as they have complete say-so on the screening methods used to decide which companies are worthy of their investment dollar.

For clients with the necessary account balance and risk tolerance for individual securities, I have the tools and the ability to research and screen potential investments on both social and financial criteria.  

In selecting stock investments, I employ a strategy known as GARP, "Growth At Reasonable Price".  I follow many of the basic premises that have made Warren Buffett one of the most successful investors of the 20th century, focusing most specifically on cash flow statistics/projections, business model, return on equity, and valuation.

In selecting bond investments for clients, I focus mostly on quality, maturity date & current yield.  And as discussed in the Community Investment section, I also have access to information on municipal bonds that may provide tax free income for the right client.
