About NorthStar Asset Management  

Founded in 1990, NorthStar Asset Management specializes exclusively in socially responsible  investing for high net-worth clients and non-profit organizations. NorthStar’s mission is to  provide integrative and effective portfolio management by connecting social concerns to security  selection, asset allocation, and activism. NorthStar’s investment management process begins  with an analysis of the social, ecological, and political problems of our time, spanning but not  limited to race, gender, income inequality, environmental justice, and human rights, and includes  in-depth conversations with clients. These steps result in the construction of highly personalized  portfolios that integrate financial goals while upholding a commitment to social change and  environmental sustainability. Synthesizing a broad market outlook and the individual needs of  the client, NorthStar combines direct investments in global equities, investment grade bonds,  alternative “outside” investments, and cash to create vibrant and well-balanced portfolios.  

NorthStar’s activism includes engagement with portfolio companies to improve their behavior  with regards to race and gender, wealth and income inequality, human rights, environmental  justice, and corporate governance. Our selection of Outside Investments and our strict criteria in  selecting funding opportunities enhance our client’s commitment to justice and equity. The  NorthStar approach, vision, and philosophy have evolved based on a core belief that we are here  to make a difference.
