• Green Commodities for a Complete Green Portfolio

  (Thu, 03 Jul 2008 10:29:58 -0400)

  (Mon, 16 Jun 2008 16:00:19 -0400)

  James Picerno submits:

  Harry Markowitz’s 56-year-old portfolio-optimization theory may be middle aged, but it’s forever young in the service of tackling the investment challenge du jour.

  An intriguing example comes from a custom indexing shop in the San Francisco area, a region that’s no stranger to finding inspiration in the finance literature for minting investment strategies. The Bay Area in the 1970s was host to the original index fund and the first disciplined use of tactical asset allocation in a quantitative framework.

• Should One Invest in Unethical Companies?

  (Thu, 12 Jul 2007 16:10:56 -0400)

  Chad Brand submits: I had a telephone conversation last week with a new client and one of the questions he had for me was, "Do you invest in unethical companies?"

  He was speaking about Wal-Mart (WMT) specifically, it turns out, but there are a lot of investors who avoid buying shares in companies where they disapprove of their products, their way of doing business, or both.

Nicholas Vardy notes that between 1995 and 2005, African stocks showed compound annual growth of 22%. Last year, the stock market in Kenya rallied 46%, and the local index is up 9x in dollar terms over the past ten years. In 2006, equities in Morocco were up 75%, 69% in Uganda, and 55% in Botswana....
