January 20, 2007 (updated on: March 24, 2007) | by [Holden][52]
I have plenty more ranting to do on the [Straw Ratio][53], but apparently blogs are supposed to discuss current events or something, and the big story in charity blogging (yeah, charity blogging is a thingI knew it wasnt going to take much more time to get going than [food blogging][54]) is “social investing.” Specifically, the [LA Times articles][55] that accuse the Gates Foundation of contradicting good works with evil investments.
Heres my summary of the debate: [some people][56] are upset that the Gates Foundation isnt going to make any changes, and [others][57] claim that a foundation cant make these kinds of “judgment calls” (which seems like a bizarre claim to mewhat exactly are they supposed to be doing in picking grant recipients?)
The first thing I want to point out, which I havent seen acknowledged enough, is how **extremely, extremely minor** the impact of a foundations investing decisions are on the companies it invests in. Its one thing if its doing private equity and helping a startup, shoestring baby-eating venture to get off the ground; that would be socially irresponsible investing. The much more common situation is that its holding a bunch of publicly traded stocks. The stock price impact of pulling out their money, even for a behemoth like the Gates Foundation, would be tiny, and any price impact they _did_ create would be partly offset by other investors jumping in at the lowered price.
This isnt even mentioning the indirectness of the link between a companys stock price and its ability to carry out its activities. An extreme example of this is the one kind of company the Gates Foundation does divest from, tobacco. Tobacco companies are generally not seeking capital to expand their activities, so investing or not investing in their stock has literally no impact whatsoever on what they do. Buying their stock is buying a slice of their profits, not contributing to them. Saying you shouldnt invest in Altria because smoking is bad is almost exactly equivalent to saying you shouldnt bet on the Colts to win the Super Bowl because theyre annoying.
Still, indiscriminate investing can mean that (a tiny bit) more capital goes to irresponsible ventures. So should foundations be worried about this? Generally, Id say nonot because it isnt relevant, but because foundations resources are better spent elsewhere.
Let me use a nonsensical example. If the Giving Hope to Babies Foundation wants to give hope to babies, it should be doing whatever gives babies the most hope per dollar, net. This probably means spendings all its resources to find and fund a few extremely effective activities (say, showing _Braveheart_ in maternity wards). It wouldnt make sense for it to demand that the people who sell it electricity, rent out its building, deliver its packages, etc. are all people who never discourage babiesthis would be a lot more money and hassle for very small, scattered improvements, and the resources would be better used for more _Braveheart_ screenings. And likewise, it wouldnt make sense for it to spend resources on _consistent investing_, weeding out all the baby-demoralizing companies from the standard stock indices its holding. Its better off using a simple, cost-effective investment strategy and using the savings on its core _Braveheart_-showing programs. I see Ive lost you.
That said, I think the Gates Foundation is an exception, because:
1\. They are really enormous, and they are probably hurting for things to spend their money on. Seriously. Unlike most foundations, they [recognize][58] the [silliness of giving money away less quickly than possible][59], and yet theyre still giving it away at a slow rate (~5% of assets per year).
2\. They are a leader, and if they did a good job developing a “socially responsible investment index,” many others would leverage their work.
3\. If this index were constructed using clear, consistent guidelines, we might actually start to see an impact, in that businessmen would know that violating the guidelines will mean more difficulty raising capital.
Because theyre a leader and because theyre huge, the Gates Foundation has a chance to set _the_ standard for socially responsible giving. That would matter, and if the index were well constructed, it would discourage “evil investing” enough to start discouraging “evil entrepreneurship” as well, which is really what matters. The good this would accomplish might be comparable to what they could accomplish by spending the money on other things. But this tradeoff is highly debatable, and for smaller, less influential foundations, I think its clearly a better move to just invest for results.
This all might seem pretty irrelevant if youre not a gigantic foundation with loads of money to invest well or evilly. Heres whats relevant: division of labor. Its way less effective to try to do everything perfectly than to pick something that you can do really well, do it, and outsource all the other crap to others. Thats why Ford doesnt make their own steel and I dont do my own laundry. And thats why Im generally pretty unenthused aboutand often againstboth “responsible investing” and “responsible consumerism,” stuff like Fair Trade coffee. People should buy their favorite products and give to their favorite charities, rather than spending extra money on products that are “made without evil.” Avoiding the bad isnt nearly as effective or important as identifying and supporting the best (… so … [GiveWell][60] is awesome). This post is already long, so Ill be more convincing about this some other time.

Good points while agreeing with pretty much the lot (well, maybe not _Braveheart_ for babies…) Ill throw another idea in.
Im involved with a foundation that aims to promote charitable giving. We can invest what we cant give away in a standard fund or, for less interest gain, could put our money in e.g. [Charity Bank][66] which would loan our capital to worthwhile causes. And our foundation would still be able to get our capital back at the end of the term.
Interested to read your thoughts/rants on this… 😉

[…] Das ist natürlich kein Garant, dass eine solche Strategie nicht zu signifikant geringeren Einnahmen führen könnte und damit die eigentliche Zielerreichung gefährdet. So hat sich beispielsweise die Gates-Stiftung ganz bewusst dagegen entschieden, als Investor zu versuchen eine wirklich positive Rolle zu spielen und auch Holden Karnofsky von GiveWell sieht “investing in evil” nicht als grundsätzliches Problem. Aufgrund des Wachstums ethischer Investitionsmöglichkeiten und neuartiger Schnittstellen diese mit direkten Gaben an wohltätige Organisationen zu verbinden, gehe ich allerdings davon aus, dass hier das letzte Wort noch nicht gesprochen ist. […]

Holden, Id be interested in a quick update  would you still agree with the general conclusion of this post? Thanks for a quick reply.
* **Holden** on [January 13, 2014 at 3:34 pm][69] said:
Vollmer, Id broadly agree with most of this post (though Id express it differently). The last paragraph is the one Id be most conflicted about; I think there are good reasons to practice some degree of ethical consumerism but also good reasons not to let it cut too much into ones specialized work.
