The Investors' Advocate by Payson Y. Hunter Pdf

You might wonder why you need this book if you already have a financial professional looking after your investments. The answer is simple. Because it is highly probably that you are among the 90% of individual investors whose portfolios underperform their benchmarks, destroying capital in the process. This book can benefit you in two ways. First, it will give you tools to evaluate the quality of your investment advisory relationship. How do you know that the investment advice you receive is the best possible? Measure your investment process against the standards of practice provided in this book. Second, The Investors’ Advocate provides tools for you to use to make more money over time. A great deal more. And reduce risk while you do. Most portfolios significantly underperform, destroying capital because of mistaken assumptions, policies, practices, and processes. Author Payson Hunter has crafted the one guide that you need to ensure this doesn’t happen to you. The Investors’ Advocate examines the primary issues that hurt investors—including over-diversification—and then shares the philosophy and processes needed to be a successful investor. This includes creating a Statement of Investment Objectives, a Financial Plan, and Investment Policy Statement for you to direct your financial advisor. In addition, Hunter explains the characteristics of a great investment candidate and how using the Graham Formula can help investors estimate the value of securities, enabling the investor to focus on finding great investments at discounted prices that provide wide margins of safety to help protect capital and enhance returns. The proprietary “Deals of the Dow” investment strategy is an example of how to identify opportunity. After reading this book, and incorporating the tips and tools provided, you will have what you need to be in control of your investment advisory relationship and ensure your portfolio is travelling the path to financial independence.

Investor and Industry Perspectives on Investment Advisers and Broker-Dealers by Angela A. Hung,Noreen Clancy,Jeff Dominitz,Eric Talley,Claude Berrebi Pdf

In theory, financial professionals are relatively distinct: A broker-dealer conducts transactions in securities on behalf of itself and others; and an investment adviser provides advice to others regarding securities. Different laws regulate each type of professional, but boundaries have blurred. This report examines current business practices and investor understanding of each type.

ESG and Responsible Institutional Investing Around the World: A Critical Review by Pedro Matos Pdf

This survey examines the vibrant academic literature on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing. While there is no consensus on the exact list of ESG issues, responsible investors increasingly assess stocks in their portfolios based on nonfinancial data on environmental impact (e.g., carbon emissions), social impact (e.g., employee satisfaction), and governance attributes (e.g., board structure). The objective is to reduce exposure to investments that pose greater ESG risks or to influence companies to become more sustainable. One active area of research at present involves assessing portfolio risk exposure to climate change. This literature review focuses on institutional investors, which have grown in importance such that they have now become the largest holders of shares in public companies globally. Historically, institutional investors tended to concentrate their ESG efforts mostly on corporate governance (the “G” in ESG). These efforts included seeking to eliminate provisions that restrict shareholder rights and enhance managerial power, such as staggered boards, supermajority rules, golden parachutes, and poison pills. Highlights from this section: · There is no consensus on the exact list of ESG issues and their materiality. · The ESG issue that gets the most attention from institutional investors is climate change, in particular their portfolio companies’ exposure to carbon risk and “stranded assets.” · Investors should be positioning themselves for increased regulation, with the regulatory agenda being more ambitious in the European Union than in the United States. Readers might come away from this survey skeptical about the potential for ESG investing to affect positive change. I prefer to characterize the current state of the literature as having a “healthy dose of skepticism,” with much more remaining to be explored. Here, I hope the reader comes away with a call to action. For the industry practitioner, I believe that the investment industry should strive to achieve positive societal goals. CFA Institute provides an exemplary case in its Future of Finance series (www.cfainstitute.org/research/future-finance). For the academic community, I suggest we ramp up research aimed at tackling some of the open questions around the pressing societal goals of ESG investing. I am optimistic that practitioners and academics will identify meaningful ways to better harness the power of global financial markets for addressing the pressing ESG issues facing our society.

Communities in Action by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine,Health and Medicine Division,Board on Population Health and Public Health Practice,Committee on Community-Based Solutions to Promote Health Equity in the United States Pdf

In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.
