In 1990 I created the first Humane oriented screen which was termed “Cruelty Free Investing” by the Humane community. Up until that time, screening for animal issues didn’t exist and to my knowledge there was no one with a foot in both the animal welfare and investing communities to bridge the gap.
That was 25 years ago and today the term “Vegan Investing” is gaining lots of attention and traction. The vast majority of our incoming inquiries are asking for Vegan based portfolio screens.
So we think the time has come to write a paper on how to create and manage an effective Vegan portfolio via our data based quantitative style of investing.
FYI all of our portfolios visible on the Collective2.com platform (see the links on the right side of our home page) are Vegan portfolios.
