SYSTEM-LEVEL INVESTING
System-level investing helps investors to consider the big-picture environmental, social, or financial systems’ context of their security selection and portfolio construction decisions – not at the expense of long-term investment prospects, but rather to support them.
ENVIRONMENTAL
Profitable investment depends on the health of the physical environment as a source of wealth generation necessary for future prosperity
Natural resource depletion, climate change, and decreased access to fresh water are among those systemic environmental issues that threaten investors’ futures
SOCIAL
Societies provide the foundational cultural and legal structures upon which businesses thrive
Income inequality, poverty, poor health, and dangerous working conditions – among other things – threaten societies’ health and the businesses that depend on it
FINANCIAL
The global financial system consists of an interlocking network of laws, regulations, institutions and customs that enable the smooth functioning of markets
This system and the investors that depend on it cannot thrive without stability, trust, credibility, inclusiveness, and transparency
RESOURCE HUB
TIIP shares insights about system-level investing via presentations and speeches at industry events, through our publications and reports, and in blog posts and op-eds.
