Investment Strategy
Humankind Investments LLC implements a socially responsible investment approach by constructing portfolios designed to create a material, positive impact on humanity. The firm emphasizes supporting socially optimal economic outcomes, measuring the impact on stakeholders including investors, employees, customers, and society at large. Their strategies are generally index-based rather than actively managed, prioritizing companies with strong social and environmental attributes, and seeking to balance financial performance with general public benefit. The firm has specialized in advising funds formed as benefit corporations and integrating ESG (environmental, social, governance) criteria into portfolio construction. In practice, Humankind does not typically divest based on underperformance unless a company is removed from relevant indexes.
