When one thinks of socially responsible investing (SRI), utilities are not typically top-of-mind. Utilities are rarely considered as candidates for the large and rapidly growing number of SRI funds-funds which are projected to reach as much as $9 trillion in assets under management by 2015.
The fact is, utilities can indeed demonstrate sustainable performance, and with the industry expecting to need $2 trillion in capital by 2030, SRI funds represent a ripe potential source. Social responsibility also enhances a utility's brand value, regulatory relations, and securities analyst coverage-all areas that play strategic parts in gaining and maintaining a competitive advantage. On the flip side, investors are actively and constantly looking for lucrative additions to their SRI funds. There is a match here.
This unique webcast addresses both sides of the equation, giving utilities a solid strategy for building their case as sustainable investments, and investors tools to analyze it. Target Rock Advisors LLC presents:
