Abstract
Social investing includes three primary strategies: selecting companies that reflect an investor's values; shareholder activism to bring pressure on companies in which a person invests; and community investing, wherein economically targeted investments support community development initiatives. This article explores these three strategies as well as assesses the trends and impacts associated with the $2 trillion socially responsible investment industry in the United States.
