Socially Responsible Investing

Organizations use a wide range of standards and approaches to define social responsibility. Some invest in companies in hopes of encouraging them to change certain practices. Others seek out leaders in socially responsible activities and demonstrate their support through ownership of their stock. 

Most of our clients view stock ownership as a form of approval and support of the companies they own. They prefer not to be associated with companies who profit from activities that are inconsistent with their organization's values. 

Great Lakes Advisors works closely with clients to identify the issues and priorities that are most important to them and has successfully invested in companies whose activities and businesses are consistent with the values of socially responsible clients.
