Generic Investment Book with 'Socially Responsible' Tacked On

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2015

Verified Purchase

This book essentially functions as a primer for the various ways one can invest money. It explains how stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and ETFs work.

But it barely mentions how any of these investment strategies can actually be applied in a 'socially responsible' way. The author essentially tells us that we should do our research involving individual companies because it's apparently out of the scope of the book.

Most of the chapter on environmental investing explains why companies want to be greener because in the long run that will save them money. Well obviously this isn't enough incentive.

A large portion of the book is devoted to investing according to various religious laws. If that's your definition of 'socially responsible investing' then maybe this is the book for you.

The most useful sections are the lists of mutual funds and ETFs and what their mission statements are. But again, half of them are for religious groups.

This is a decent generic book about investment strategies with 'socially responsible' tacked on.

The content was well selected to orient newcomers, show the various aspects one can choose to be involved in, and give tips on handling their assets in a socially responsible manner. Index is helpful as is the list of references and resources.

Do you want to improve your investing habbits? Tired of listening to the same old financial news?, then look no further and read "Socially Responsible Investing for Dummies." Ann Logue walks you step by step and explains how to monitor your investments, identify which companies to invest in, selection of your stocks, bonds, mutual funds,exchange traded funds and how the market works. This book also expalins how the tax rules applies to each individual on their dividends and how to avoid paying excessive fees to brokers and financial advisors. This book is not only for beginners but also for someone who needs help investing in international markets. I would highly recommend reading this book. I'm looking forward to reading her upcoming book called "Emerging Markets for Dummies."
