Newground Social Investment, SPC

Since its founding in 1994 Newground Social Investment has been a leader in the social investment movement. Since 1986, Newground's Founder and Chief Executive has focused exclusively on SRI and ESG investing. Newground manages money for organizations and individuals of means who seek positive change without sacrifice to financial performance. We link values with dollars in ways that create beneficial social, financial, and environmental outcomes. Newground serves as a legal fiduciary - with a duty to always put a client's needs first and foremost. This stands in direct contrast to most brokers, banks, insurance companies and others who do not have this legal responsibility. Newground clients do not worry whether their best interests are being served, both because we are fiduciaries and because we are fee-only. This eliminates commission-based conflicts-of-interest. All client assets are held by independent, 3rd-party, trustees or custodians, in the client's name and never under Newground's direct control. This solves the 'Bernie Madoff problem' - because clients gave their money directly to Mr. Madoff, he was able to steal it. Independent custodians would have made his crimes impossible.
