Makes Sense

A Monopoly game update to match today's wealth accumulation strategies might come with a surprise twist: Dapper game mascot Rich Uncle Pennybags could go from bankrupting competitors to socially responsible investing.

It might not fatten Pennybags' dough roll quite as fast as would a railroad or real estate monopoly. But there would likely be fewer market pitfalls.

That's the approach and core strategy Naples investment advisers Andrew Hill and Jennifer Figurelli have used to build their firm, Andrew Hill Investments Advisors. The pair of outdoor enthusiasts and civic activists targets stocks and bonds from companies they grade in the categories of environmental, social and governance. “These factors can have a real impact on a company's brand, operations and ultimately its stock price,” says Figurelli.
