A subsidiary of VanCity, Real Assets is the first investment manager in Canada to focus entirely on "Social Impact" Investing.
Deb sees the current opportunity as one where individuals and organizations can move beyond the traditional “feel-good” characteristics of “Socially Responsible” or “Ethical” investing, to actually "engaging corporations and leveraging investment capital for social and environmental change".
— What does this mean for our individual RRSP’s or our collective pension plans?
— How can we use our financial muscle to help provide a world actually worth retiring in?
Deb will explore the current landscape and where she thinks Social Impact Investing is headed. Then she’ll share some of the strategies open to investors today and the activist campaigns now underway in our common quest for social justice and environmental sustainability including:
— gender diversity in the workplace,
— issues related to human rights,
— HIV/AIDS in Africa, and
— responsible water use.
