Leveraging robo-advisors to fill the gap within the SRI marketplace

Abstract

The Socially Responsible Investing (SRI) marketplace has been experiencing continuous growth, despite the limited understanding and comprehensive tools for assessment, reporting, measurement and profiling of the investment portfolios, the risk and the generated impact. The materialization of robo-advisors, a new offering within the fund management industry, in the light of continuous technological developments, brings a new wave of innovation that aims at assisting the industry towards institutionalizing SRI strategies for the purpose of social good.
