retail advisors is an example of how the
organization reaches out.
Fansher himself is a representative
of Investia Financial Services Inc.,
Canada's largest independent advice
channel. As such, he can pick and
choose funds and products that meet
his own high standards for responsible
investing.
The bar is always moving. Three
years ago, investment firm iA
Clarington and Vancity Investment
Management announced they would
go fossil-fuel free. " That was a bold
decision that won my attention and
attracted investor capital, " Fansher
says.
Any such proclamation prompts
Fansher to investigate the claims,
meeting and grilling fund managers
and responsible investing department
heads. " If I can't get a meeting, that
makes me question the company's
commitment to stakeholder engagement, "
he says.
He believes his clients should know
how their funds are being invested and
use their collective voice to change
corporate practices. Which takes
us back to LaFlamme. Rather than
simply tweet his disappointment at
the news, Fansher wrote a thoughtful
LinkedIn piece arguing that responsible
investors should advocate for an
end to one-sided exits from corporate
jobs.
It's an example of activist investing
filtered through the responsible
investing prism. Where once Fansher's
call might have gone unnoticed,
instead it was supported by thousands
almost immediately, potentially laying
the groundwork for real change in the
months and years to come.
" I have been leading a responsible
investment parade for the last 20
years, " Fansher says. " I'm thrilled
more people are doing this now because
our world will look different when we
call for change. I live a life of purpose,
leading a ministry of responsible
investment, and my need to keep doing
so has never been more timely or
relevant. "
