Who We Are

What we believe.

The way Yale University invests its $17 billion endowment has a huge impact on the world.
Yale's educational and scholarly missions are based on strong values regarding the environment and society.
Therefore, Yale should incorporate these environmental and social values into its investment decisions.
Yale's current Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility—which was designed for this purpose in 1972—is no longer capable of fulfilling this essential function.

We are a growing group of Yale students and alumni that support student-written proposals that updates Yale's Advisory Committee on Investor Responsibility for a modern endowment. This would be the first significant update to the committee in 37 years.

We do not oppose the modern approach to institutional investing of David Swensen and the Yale Investments Office. On the contrary, we have strived to develop a model of ethical investing that serves as a strong complement rather than an impediment to the Yale Model of institutional investing.
