Question: What are the tenets of Integral Investing?
Mariana’ AI Agent answers:
Integral Investing is based on several key tenets:
- Investment Philosophy: Rooted in Integral Theory, AQAL (pronounced ah-qwul) by philosopher Ken Wilber, which integrates all dimensions of reality—both exterior and interior—in investment decisions. It honors the evolution of human consciousness from pre-modern to modern, postmodern, and post-postmodern structures.
- Proven Investment Framework: Integral Investing transcends and includes traditional and impact investing. It is a meta-theory and practice based on consciousness evolution as described in Wilber’s Integral Theory.
- Communication of Ideals: The motto of Integral Investing is the 6Ps: Parity of People, Planet, and Prosperity with Passion and Purpose. This reflects the belief that doing good and doing well are not contradictory but essential for integral sustainability.
- De-Risking: The proprietary Theta Model is used for de-risking investments. This model applies Integral Theory tools and methodologies to build integrally sustainable companies from the beginning.
- Integral Sustainability: Financial returns are inseparable from high impacts on environmental and social responsibility, ethical corporate governance (ESG), cultural aspects, and happiness factors.
- Integration of Traditional and Impact Investing: Integral Investing provides a sustainable integration between traditional investing and impact investing, emphasizing that financial sustainability is as important as environmental and social impact.
These tenets collectively aim to create a holistic and sustainable approach to investing that addresses both financial returns and broader societal and environmental impacts.
