About

Values-Aligned Leadership

Focused on Values-Aligned Investing.

Our associates, investment managers, industry groups, and influential communities of economists, researchers, advocates, thought leaders, and change agents help magnify our impact worldwide.

Partnership

It’s easiest to persuade for change when you try to bring others with you. In helping our investors push for sustainable choices, we often work as part of larger coalitions representing billions of investment dollars.

Advocacy

Many experienced investors know that owning shares comes with inherent power, but don’t have the time or experience to effectively use their voting rights. First Affirmative handles proxy voting electronically on behalf of shareowners.

Leadership

Progress in responsible investing can also be made in direct talks with the executives who manage companies day-to-day. First Affirmative amplifies that power with decades of experience advocating effectively on the most important issues of our time.

Our leadership team reflects longevity, future-oriented thinking, investment acumen, and a commitment to investing for both purpose and profit.
