Private Financing of Green Companies

Description

Many old-line portfolio managers claim that dealing with green companies is too risky, and yet they do not hesitate to buy up dangerously volatile hedge funds. In this program Hazel Henderson and philanthropic entrepreneur Karl Kleissner suggest that the traditional financial community broaden their strategies to include eco-friendly ventures. Kleissner is co-founder of the K. L. Felicitas Foundation, which lends monetary support to triple-bottom-line enterprises, and of Toniic, a worldwide network of ethical investors. Among the topics raised in the discussion are impact investing, and the need for individuals to be assertive with financial counselors about making environmentally-conscious choices.
