This fall, the Desautels Faculty of Management will introduce a new fund dedicated to Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) under (DCM) 鈥� a student-run, registered investment management firm.

Established in 2009, DCM presently comprises three funds totaling $5 million that students enrolled in the Honours in Investment Management and Masters of Management in Finance (MMF) programs have the chance to manage as analysts.

The newly introduced SRI fund will allow students to consider environmental, social, and governance criteria in the investment process more profoundly, coinciding with the centrality of corporate social responsibility (CSR) in industry.

鈥淪ocial responsibility is becoming more and more important to our investors and it鈥檚 also something that our students are very passionate about,鈥� says Vadim di Pietro, Associate Professor of Finance and Chief Investment Officer at DCM. 鈥淥n top of that, there鈥檚 a growing body of research that shows that incorporating SRI factors into the investment process can improve financial performance.鈥�
