Does the institution have a student-managed socially responsible investment fund through which students are able to develop socially responsible investment skills and experience?:
A brief description of the student-managed SRI fund:
This course is designed to give students hands-on experience in actively managing an actual investment portfolio. Students accept administrative responsibility, form analyst teams, establish selection criteria, research investments, make buy/sell decisions and execute trades.
As one of the investment criteria, students are asked to justify the social responsibility impact of any investment decision. For example, students will evaluate the merits of investing in the common stock of companies that engage in sales of products that harm individuals well-being, create excess pollution, engage in discriminatory labor practices, or are otherwise socially irresponsible. Social responsibility is emphasized through a review of Certified Financial Analysts (CFA) Level 1 material pertaining to Ethical and Professional Standards.
