Socially Responsible Investing - What Fiduciary Investment Boards Need to Know

27/3/2017

 
Socially responsible investing (SRI) (also called sustainable, responsible, impact investing) is growing in markets around the world.  It offers investors the opportunity to ensure that their investments align with their mission and values and is part of a wider movement to make the global financial system more effective in mobilising capital towards an environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive economy, that is, sustainable development.  As SRI is becoming better understood and more widely accepted, the historic barriers to SRI, such as the belief that it is inconsistent with the fiduciary obligation of loyalty to beneficiaries because it has a negative impact on returns, are being challenged and arguably dismantled.

This paper aims to help those boards charged with overseeing investments for the benefit of others (i.e. fiduciary boards) in the Pacific sovereign wealth fund, philanthropic, charities and Māori sectors (for the purpose of this paper, Investment Stewards) understand what SRI is and how it fits in with their fiduciary obligations and investment governance practices.

Trustees - Now's the Time to Recalibrate your Provider Radar

31/10/2016

 
Financial service providers including brokers, advisers, banks and investment managers have had to re-think business models, re-train, even decide whether they want to continue. They are now wrapped in new regulation, designed to protect investors and inform. They lose their ticket to attend the game if they fail to meet requirements.
 
Providers might claim, “If we meet compliance, surely any client should be satisfied. What other scrutiny could possibly be necessary?”
 
Actually – quite a lot!

5/3/2014

 
Picture
After an extensive review and collaboration with independent industry experts and the AICPA (as technical editors), the new handbook series has been released for the US.  The practices themselves have not fundamentally changed but rather have been regrouped in places and the commentary has been improved.  We have commenced work on amended versions suitable for advisers and trustees in New Zealand.  

Additionally, fi360 Pacific has commenced adaptation for a specialised Australian Superannuation handbook. 

The revised practices also mean the Accredited Investment Fiduciary and Fiduciary Essentials training courses will be provided with upgraded content.
