From the Barclays iShares website:
As socially responsible investing continues to gain momentum, more and more investors are looking for ways to invest in companies with positive social, environmental, and governance characteristics without having to give up the potential for performance they might achieve elsewhere.
KLD's Domini 400 SocialSM Index, one of the oldest and most widely followed index for socially responsible investing, consists of companies drawn primarily from the universe of companies included in the S&P 500 Index and the Russell 3000 Index, while screening for socially conscious behavior.
Barclays Global Investor Services invites Peter Kinder and Tom Kuh of KLD Research & Analytics to explain what sets this index apart from the competition and how you and your clients can tap into it through our new iShares KLD 400 Social Index Fund.
