Silverman Strategies honored by the United Nations

Silverman Strategies was recently chosen as a signatory for the United Nation’s Principles for Responsible Investment.  This places our firm among an elite group of investment managers and advisors worldwide, and makes us the first firm in South Carolina to achive this designation.

Becoming a signatory reaffirms our commitment to working with investors and institutions to provide more clarity in oversight and advice with regard to environmental, social, and governance issues in our investment practice.  These issues have played a key role in our analysis of mutual funds, stocks, and other securities over the years, and it is a tremendous honor to be chosen.

From the PRI website:

As institutional investors, we have a duty to act in the best long-term interests of our beneficiaries. In this fiduciary role, we believe that environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) issues can affect the performance of investment portfolios (to varying degrees across companies, sectors, regions, asset classes and through time). We also recognise that applying these Principles may better align investors with broader objectives of society.
