Catherine Scheib - SI Financial, LLC - Seven Generations Investing

As a licensed securities and financial professional I provide personalized advice, planning, products and services to meet life's financial needs including retirement, college, inheritance, VA Benefits and general savings and investment programs. My first responsibility, as a fudiciary, is to serve my clients overall financial well being. Additionally, I specialize in ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) investing and have been a socially responsible investment professional since joining the financial services industry in 1998. Natural Awakenings magazine referred to me as a "Trend setter, not a trend chaser" in its November 2012 edition. ESG asset classes include alternative energy, clean water, preventative health care and organic foods. In addition to competitive financial returns, the practice of impact/social/environmental and community spirited investing offers the investor the opportunity to make a positive impact via financial leverage in a myriad of ways including investing/supporting businesses that embrace sustainable practices or participating in shareholder advocacy for those corporations that do not utilize sustainable methods. In addition to being a securities professional I am also a Veterans Administration accredited claims agent. As such I provide educational workshops for senior veterans and/or their surviving spouses and their families on the Aid and Attendance Pension benefit and assist with application preparation and financial planning strategies. In my financial practice, I work with individuals, businesses and foundations throughout the United States and am licensed in the State of PA to provide health and life insurance. I provide one-on-one services and pro-bono workshops for employees and community groups desiring to educate their participants on a variety of financial topics from simple savings programs to long-term retirement planning. Specialized presentations on impact and sustainable investing are also available.
