What Is A Socially Responsible Investment?Socially
responsible investments will differ for each investor according to his
or her convictions. One investor may feel there is nothing wrong with a
particular company's line of work or business practices, while another
may consider the company entirely unethical. While there is no universal
set of characteristics that define a socially responsible stock, there
are certain themes that tend to be commonly associated with socially
responsible investing.
First off, socially responsible investors
typically prefer to avoid making investments in companies that engage in
the production or sale of alcoholic beverages, tobacco products,
gambling or sports betting activities, adult entertainment, and tools of
warfare or violence (guns, bullets, bombs, etc.).
