Overview of First Affirmative

Sustainable investing is our good work. We’ve been managing investment portfolios for socially conscious investors since 1988. Also known as values-based, ethical, or green investing, we work with money as a tool for transformation.

We invest in companies of the future—those with good employee and stakeholder relations, responsible environmental practices, and innovative ideas for tackling humanity’s most pressing problems. Our clients come to us to make money and make a difference at the same time.

At First Affirmative, we believe that every person has a core set of values that governs his or her actions, and that our shared values outnumber those about which we differ. We believe that bringing personal values and financial decision-making into alignment is a powerful way to encourage good corporate practices.

Align your investments with your values. Develop a financial plan that meets your needs. Join us to create a more sustainable future for all.
