Benchmark Asset Managers
We have been fortunate to count Benchmark as a partner and client of BetterWorld for some time. Their team, led by Ben Bingham, Sam Folin and John Campagna have been true pioneers in the are of Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) for years and continue to forge new ground every day.
Their clients, like them, care about the environment, and want to live in a just society with equal opportunities for all. Furthermore, they want to integrate these values into their investments without sacrificing profits. SRI has been a powerful catalyst in changing the world and how people do business, especially poignant in this time of crisis, providing an alternative to the business as usual Wall Street model.
Benchmark is leading the SRI movement to the next level by creating positive SRI strategies that incorporate strong financial analytical tools and social research to deliver market rate returns with more potent social and environmental impact. For more information: www.benchmarkam.com
