Top Portfolio Products: HIP Investor and SNW Asset Management Launch Portfolios
HIP Investor Inc. and SNW Asset Management Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of Seattle-Northwest Securities Corp.) announced a business collaboration offering clients impact-rated portfolios for municipal bonds and fixed income.
The portfolios, managed by SNW Asset Management and scored by HIP Investor, allows investors to see a quantified score of human, social and environmental impact realized by their investments. The new approach may also spur issuers of multimillion-dollar bonds toward more accountability and innovation as they seek to advance the well-being of their communities.
