The Social Investment Forum’s 2001 Report on Socially Responsible Investment Trends in the United States is now out and available at www.socialinvest.org/Areas/research/trends/2001-Trends.htm.

Highlights include:

Assets in socially screened investment portfolios under professional management rose by more than a third from 1999 to 2001 to top the $2 trillion mark for the first time ever.

This growth rate is over 1.5 times that of all investment assets under professional management in the United States for the same period.

Nearly one out of eight dollars under professional management in the United States today is involved in socially responsible investing.

There are now 230 mutual funds in the United States that incorporate social screening into the process compared with 168 such funds in 1999.
