Moving Money - Supporting Solutions for Racial Justice

We are enraged at the violence directed against Black people in America and the murders perpetrated by police forces, whose supposed purpose is to protect all citizens. We are also grateful to all the people who are protesting and risking their lives for change.

We acknowledge our complicity in all this suffering. As bearers of class and wealth privilege, we must locate our position in this system of oppression and put our skills as professional investors in the service of Black communities, justice, and reparation.

Coronavirus Market Outlook

Last month we shared our thoughts on the outlook for the global economy and financial markets as the spread of COVID-19 was exploding around the world. Events have continued to unfold at a frenzied pace.  At times like this, it’s important for investors to not overreact, but remain objective and thoughtful, while also being nimble enough to act if conditions warrant action. Zevin Asset Management’s guiding principle has always been to invest in high quality securities that can endure during times like these, in an attempt to minimize major losses in our clients’ portfolios. To that end, we are closely monitoring this global health crisis, the numerous policy responses and financial market reaction, all within our longstanding investment process of assessing the macroeconomic, company and ESG risks.
