How Do You Implement SRI?

„ Define the values the foundation wishes to express

„ Screens of securities can either be positive or negative

y Negative screens block companies engaged in certain undesirable activities

Examples:

{ Industry restrictions such as gambling or tobacco

{ Business dealings in the Sudan

y Positive screens attempt to identify companies with desirable attributes

Examples:

{ high levels of community involvement

{ good environmental practices

„ Determine screens that may be controversial to your board and/or constituency

y Example

{ Abortion/Birth Control

{ Defense/Weapons

„ Test restrictions if implemented on the current portfolio

y Names eliminated

Does SRI Investing Compromise Returns?

„ To illustrate how funds typically screen and to consider the impact of screens on performance, we selected a

sample of SRI mutual funds for comparison

y All funds are considered large core holdings and easily comparable to the S&P 500

Fund Screens

Fund I

Avoids firms that violate core values and favors those with strong environmental, social and governance records.

Fund II

No alcohol, tobacco, firearms, gambling, nuclear power, or weapons contracting. Favors firms with strong records in environmental issues, workplace diversity and employee relations.

Fund III Filters out alcohol, tobacco, weapons manufacturers and polluters. Fund IV

No firms with ties to tobacco, gambling, alcohol, weapons or nuclear power. Favors the least offensive firms in sectors such as energy or materials.

Impact Investing

„ Definition: Actively placing capital in businesses and funds that generate social and/or environmental good

and a range of returns, from principal to above market, to investor.1

y The main difference in Impact Investing and Socially Responsible Investing stems from the idea of

actively seeking change through the allocation of capital

„ Individual investors may find it difficult to meaningfully project philanthropic ideals

y Some investment vehicles present an opportunity for investors to gain the advantages of scale when

trying to accomplish value driven goals

„ The main goals of such funds is to intentionally make change

y Investments which unintentionally create social good are not included in this category

„ Impact Investing vehicles are not charities. While the goal is to change the society for the better, some

financial return is intended on the investment

y Returns may or may not be above market returns

(19)

Paul Comstock Partners ® 19

Types of Investors and Vehicles

„ Impact First Investors

y Investors who are primarily seeking social good and make accept below market returns or only return of

capital

„ Financial First Investors

y Investors who seek market rate returns which also have social impact

„ Hybrid Structures (Layered Structures)

y Investment vehicles which combine capital from both types of investors in order to create economies of

scale and do the greatest good

y Tranches are often created to satisfy the needs of both types of investors

(20)

Paul Comstock Partners ® 20

Impact Investing Framework

„ Although Impact Investing is a relatively new idea, recent innovations have create many different opportunities

for investors to participate

y Opportunities exist in areas from very secure cash investments and senior debt offerings to private equity

and venture capital funds

y Considerations for appropriate vehicles are driven by risk tolerances and investing goals

„ The framework an investor chooses will drive potential returns

y As the industry has begun to mature, market returns may be reasonable considering the asset class or

(21)

Paul Comstock Partners ® 21

Fiduciary Issues

„ Evidence on whether SRI adds or detracts from investment returns is inconclusive

y Studies of screening criteria show excess returns for companies that rate highly on corporate governance

and environmental performance1

y Analysis of SRI mutual fund performance in the US and UK has shown no statistically significant

difference with other actively managed funds1

„ Ultimately most prohibited SRI areas represent small industries whose impact on diversification is immaterial

y Tobacco stocks, for example, represent approximately 1.5% of the S&P 500

y Exclusion of these stocks typically translates into random tracking error on portfolios

y A prohibition against a larger industry such as Pharmaceutical or Banking would have a material impact

on diversification

„ SRI criteria should match the mission of the foundation

y Headline risk is a material consideration

{ For example, a foundation promoting cancer research could be criticized for holding tobacco stocks

in the portfolio

„ It would be difficult to demonstrate, from a pure investment standpoint, that a portfolio had been harmed by

following an established SRI criteria

y Demonstrating a statistically significant difference in performance could take 10-15 years

y A three or five year performance number is not sufficient time to judge the impact of a program

Note: The above comments are investment and communication opinions and should not be relied upon for compliance with fiduciary standards under the law. Before embarking on a SRI program, consult with legal counsel.

Summary

„ Opportunities exist for investors looking to align their values with their investment portfolios

y There are options as to how you implement values driven investing within a portfolio

{ Socially Responsible Investing is a way to avoid participating with companies that produce products

or provide services inconsistent with your personal values

{ Impact Investing is a way to actively participate in promoting your values in emerging areas around
