SUSTAINABLE
INVESTMENT STRATEGIES Have you ever thought about or heard about sustainable investing? If not, here is some information about what it means and how one can approach it. First, sustainable investing refers to socially responsible investing (SRI) as well as environmental, social and governance data investment (ESG). A sustainable investment strategy considers environmental, social and corporate governance criteria to generate long-term competitive financial returns as well as a positive social impact. There are two ways to look at these investment strategies. Do you want to eliminate from your portfolio certain industries because of what they do (SRI) or are you more interested in investing in
6
companies that do good which is called (ESG)? SRI, or Impact Investing, generally refers to making investments based on one’s values - avoiding companies that don’t fit your morals. Some companies that are often excluded are those that make their profits from tobacco, fossil fuel, firearms, and alcohol but at the end of the day, you are the judge. ESG investing is focused on how the company operates. Does the company have a positive or negative impact on climate change, what is the company culture, and what is the corporate structure in relation to its stakeholders? To accomplish your goals, consider an asset manager’s history and whether they have dedicated the
LAS VEGAS
necessary resources to provide ongoing research and analysis. To maintain returns while investing sustainably, seek out a fund that is benchmarked to a broad-based index. This shows the manager’s goal is to provide market-like or better than market returns. Research has shown that companies that best manage their environmental and social impact

and follow good governance practices (ESG) are more profitable in the medium and long term. The growth in sustainable investment opportunities has been substantial as individuals choose to find investments that align with their goals. The Global Sustainable Investment Alliance reports a 34 per cent increase in these investments over the last two years.

HOME LIBRARY HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF CREATING A LIBRARY IN YOUR HOME?
Home libraries are a dedicated space to relax and enjoy reading time. If you love books and have a lot of them, it is a great way to
enjoy your collection. It is also a personal statement about what you’re interested in; books and mementos can serve as a history (. . .continued on page 10)

LAS VEGAS

of your life. It is wonderful if you have a room that can be designated as the library but that really isn’t necessary. What’s most important is to create a cozy space for your collection. A library can be created in many different spaces since a room can be multi-functional. Sometimes there is space under a staircase or in a quiet nook, maybe a wall in the dining room or the hall. A fireplace can often be surrounded by bookshelves to create a library. Even a bedroom can be an interesting place to create your library; it could even be used as a wall unit above your headboard. All it takes is a little imagination. Your personal library isn’t necessarily just for books. It is a place to show off collections, photos, albums, plants and even art. It can all be incorporated in the design. It is really about your own interests, which is what makes it personal. You might want to include a desk in your library wall or a hidden space to hide games and other important knick-knacks. Keep in mind that a library should feel like a cozy retreat for reading. Depending on the space, consider (. . .continued on page 12) 10
LAS VEGAS
| NE VADA | VO L . 6
the color palette. Deep rich colors are relaxing in a library, but it all depends on the library’s location and the design of your home. Wood paneled libraries are traditional but there are many ways to create a relaxing space, depending on your own individual aesthetic. If you have a window with surrounding bookshelves, a window seat makes the perfect addition. Add a comfortable oversized chair if you have space. Don’t forget to consider lighting, which depends on the size and location of your library. Use picture lights mounted at the top of the shelves to illuminate books and add a dramatic effect. For a traditional look, use wall sconces. For actual reading, recessed lighting is appropriate as it can be dimmed by preference. Table lamps are always appropriate as are floor lamps depending on the location and available space in your own library. Whether your home is large or small, there is always a space for a personal library.

Florida HISTORIC TOWNS IN
If you happen to be driving through Florida, there are several interesting and historic towns worth visiting. St. Augustine, the oldest town in America, is located on the northeast coast of the state, just south of Jacksonville. Then head south to enjoy the Lake Wales Ridge, which includes the towns of Sebring, Lake Placid and Avon. First settled in 1565 by the Spanish and predating both Jamestown and Plymouth Rock, St Augustine was first seen by Admiral Pedro Menendez de Aviles.
