A well established Texas financial executive, Norman Nabhan, is a Managing Director and Institutional Consulting Director with Graystone Consulting in Houston, a business of Morgan Stanley. Having been designated as a Champion of Impact Investing by Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, Norman Nabhan has authored a number of articles on financial topics.
In the 2015 Houston Chronicle piece “Investors Put Their Money Where Their Mouths Are,” Mr. Nabhan examines the way in which impact investors increasingly tie ethical concerns to the search for profits. These values range from environmental sustainability to diversity in the workplace. This focus, however, does not mean that profits are sacrificed when building asset portfolios with a specific cause at the fore.
A recently published J.P. Morgan and Global Impact Investing Network survey found that impact investment performance is meeting and exceeding investor expectations with surprising frequency. As one Austin resident with a commitment to having an impact on specific social causes puts it, making money and doing good are not “mutually exclusive.” Naturally, there are a lot of factors that go into investing in companies that share one’s values and social goals, and financial managers can help steer clients toward investment opportunities that can make a difference.
