R. Paul Herman talks about polish opportunities and strenghts.

R. PAUL HERMAN, CEO + Founder,
Chief Investment Officer,
Chief Compliance Officer,
Series 65 Investment Adviser Representative

Paul invented “HIP = (Human Impact + Profit)” in 2004 to connect for-profit investors seeking positive human, social and environmental impacts and financial returns with investments designed to deliver those intended results.

Since then, Paul and the HIP team have advised investors (individuals, families and foundations – and their investment advisers); launched and manage the HIP 100 Index (SM) portfolio (a sustainable substitute for the S&P 100); and manage wealth for clients seeking their portfolios to become more HIP.

The HIP Scorecard (SM) ratings and rankings – which focus on quantifiable metrics of sustainability and how they drive financial performance – have been featured in Fast Company magazine and online in 2007, 2008 and 2010. [HIP has also advised corporate clients, like Wal-Mart and NIKE, on how to be more HIP.]

Paul’s landmark book, The HIP Investor: Make Bigger Profits by Building a Better World is published by John Wiley & Sons, and swiftly became a top 20 business book bestseller in April 2010 for Inc. magazine / 800ceoRead.com.
