The RMHI Social Investment Philosophy
RMHI is an international social investment firm that has always invested in excellence, the best ethically clean companies the world has to offer, and allow our clients to be empowered with the results. For the individual ethical investor, this could mean the opportunity to directly support causes and non-profits with the transfer of shares of equities that have risen sharply from a low cost basis. For the non-profit it could mean greater funds for daily operations or greater financial resources to tackle difficult issues.
Our style is Growth with a Value orientation. We select clean or green stocks based upon financial statements with investment models with solid academic foundations. In addition, to further reduce risk and increase long-term annual returns we shape client portfolios to monetary policy and historical stock-bond relationships.
So, as your ethical investment advisor, what do we invest in? All ethical investments must meet a Sustainable Business guideline. This means many of our investments would be considered environmentally neutral. In addition to our neutral holdings, we'll compliment portfolios with pro-active clean or green investments.
Our screening criteria is based upon two issues: Humane and Environmental issues.
Currently, we screen and eliminate the following industries:
- Animal Testing (including Biotechnology and Pharmaceuticals)
- Animals as Entertainment
- Companies with significant environmental issues
- Factory Farming
- Weapons
- Extractive Industries (mining)
- Tobacco
