Values-based investing is the attempt to reflect your values in the way that you invest your money and ensure that your values match the policies, products, and/or philanthropy of the companies you invest in.

This investing concept has been around for decades, possibly even centuries, but in many ways has been difficult to accomplish until now. Today, however, due to the advancement of technology, information can be discovered and shared instantaneously. No longer do you have to wonder whose values your money is supporting on critical issues. Through this first of its kind Values-Based online trading platform, you can now instantaneously see if a company that you may be thinking of investing in promotes a values system at odds with your own.

Where does the Values-Based research come from?

The Values-Based research for this site comes from the Research Institute for Corporate Accountability, Inc. (RICA). RICA employs a staff of researchers who utilize multiple resources such as periodicals, magazines, press releases, the internet, and documentation from corporations and the SEC to learn about publicly traded corporations' involvement in the issues of concern to most investors.

The Research Institute for Corporate Accountability (RICA) does research on companies for positive values. These findings are reported in the Affirmative Values screen of our trading site and will be displayed in the screening output along with any other values information that is known about the company.
