I recently started investing and I've always said I'm not going to help horrible companies so I was excited to see a book that looked like it was geared towards helping people like me find the right companies. And yet...
I skimmed this. It was written for people who are already avidly investing and know all the convoluted terminology. I had different expectations. I assumed this would point out some great places to invest in that would be good for the planet and people rather than a long diatribe about minute details that somehow still lack explanation. This might be a great book for investors interested in looking in another direction for their investments, but for beginners, it’s confusing and wordy. Also, the version I read was not formatted well for Kindle and there was a ton of jumpy text that made it hard to read.
Three stars because it isn't entirely the authors' fault that I had different expectations.

INVEST FOR GOOD by Mark Mobius, Carlos von Hardenberg and Greg Konieczny was subtitled "A Healthier World and a Wealthier You" and seeks to explore "increasing your well-being while changing the world." The authors previously worked together at Templeton Emerging Markets Group and have recently formed Mobius Capital Partners. They clearly bring expertise in emerging markets and likely wish to raise the profile of their new venture. Points which the authors seek to make center on the increase in passive investing and the rapid growth of ESG (environmental, social, governance) investing. This text appears intended to be a resource for investors and not really one which will be used by scholars about investment trends and patterns. Overall, INVEST FOR GOOD seems rather jargon laden and the tone is a bit dry and pedantic. Other related texts which may be older, but more accessible include Breakout Nations by Ruchir Sharma or Real Impact by Morgan Simon.
