TRIPLE BOTTOM LINE PRODUCTS

SDI believes that there is an opportunity to create investment strategies that offer investors a way to earn market rates of return ('first bottom line') while investing in companies that generate a positive social ('second bottom line') and environmental/carbon ('third bottom line') impact. It is this philosophy that led to the development of the firm's Triple Bottom Line ("TBL") products. These investment strategies are designed to invest in companies that are ranked as "best in class" for their environmental and social policies while exceeding the returns of traditional market benchmarks.
