Ron Cordes, co-chairman of Genworth Financial Wealth Management and president of the Cordes Foundation, writes about the growing appeal of impact investing among high net worth individuals.

Cordes, who was an early impact investor, makes a strong case to financial advisors that their clients will increasingly demand products that allow them to address social and environmental goals while making a profit.

From original article:
