Abstract

Social investing has grown to become a significant part of the investment world, but is still an often-ignored concept in investment education. This article discusses the history and trends in social investing and discusses how the concepts of social investing can be incorporated in student managed investment funds. Specifically, the design of a socially responsible investing student fund at one university is discussed. Although there are many challenges to overcome in integrating socially responsible investing in the finance curriculum, student managed investment funds may provide a useful vehicle for addressing the ethical and social issues faced in today's investment environment.
