Socially responsible investing (SRI) is rapidly becoming an investment discipline in its own right. Despite the volume of work, the scope of SRI research has actually narrowed. Hardly any new quantitative work has been done on many topics that matter greatly to clients, such as corporate charitable giving, plant closings, corporate crime, involvement in nuclear power, or military contracting. But this narrowness also has important benefits. Four key questions about SRI have been studied intensively, and these are the first questions an interested fiduciary is likely to ask: 1) What do financial theories have to say about SRI? 2)What has the performance been, and what are the risks? 3) Could there be an investment benefit to SRI? And 4) What do we know about social investors and their behavior? This article will review each of these questions in detail.
