Opis produktu

This book takes a broader look at the issues facing socially responsible investment (SRI )and fiduciary duties. It evaluates how the fiduciary duties and some related legal rules governing financial institutions shape the prospects for socially responsible investment and theorises how to reform this area of law to promote investment that supports environmentally sustainable development. The book elaborates a legal framework to promote environmentally responsible fiduciary finance drawing upon the public trust doctrine to formulate a concept of natures trust as the principal tool for a fundamental paradigm shift in financial investment towards sustainability.This book is about fiduciary laws influence on the financial economys environmental performance focusing on how the law affects responsible investing and considering possible legal reforms to shift financial markets closer towards sustainability. Fiduciary law governs how trustees fund managers or other custodians administer the investment portfolios owned by beneficiaries. Written for a diverse audience not just legal scholars the book examines in a multijurisdictional context an array of philosophical institutional and economic issues that have shaped the movement for responsible investing and its legal framework. Fiduciary law has acquired greater influence in the financial economy in tandem with the extraordinary recent growth of institutional funds such as pension plans and insurance company portfolios. While the fiduciary prejudice against responsible investing has somewhat waned in recent years owing mainly to reinterpretations of fiduciary and trust law significant barriers remain. This book advances the notion of śnatures trust to metaphorically signal how fiduciary responsibility should accommodate societys dependence on longterm environmental wellbeing. Financial institutions managing vast investment portfolios on behalf of millions of beneficiaries should manage those investments with regard to the broader social interest in sustaining ecological health. Even for their own financial selfinterest investors over the longterm should benefit from maintaining natures capital. We should expect everyone to act in natures trust from individual funds to market regulators. The ancient public trust doctrine could be refashioned for stimulating this change and sovereign wealth funds should take the lead in pioneering best practices for environmentally responsible investing.1.
