History
In the mid-1990s, she became Canada’s first investment adviser to focus exclusively on socially responsible and sustainable Investing and soon after she launched Real Assets Investment Management, managing SRI portfolios for individual investors, pension funds and charitable foundations. As CEO and President of Real Assets and Portfolio Manager of the Social Leaders Fund, she became a leader in shareholder activism in Canada, successfully encouraging many Canadian and US companies to address non-traditional risks to long-term shareholder and stakeholder value. She also promoted the idea that it’s good business for companies to improve their environmental, social and governance performance.
She is an author of two books on sustainable investing, The 50 Best Ethical Stocks for Canadians — co-authored with Jantzi-Sustainalytics CEO Michael Jantzi — and Global Profit and Global Justice – Using Your Money to Change the World. As well, she is a significant television, radio and print media presence. Abbey is also a past Vice-President of Canadian Business for Social Responsibility and is an Honourary Board Member of the BC Sustainable Energy Association.
