You may have heard of terms like ethical investing, mission investing or responsible lending. Similar to those is Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), a broad-based approach to investing that recognizes corporate responsibility and societal concerns as valid parts of making investment decisions. SRI considers both the investor's financial needs and the investment’s impact on society. APD Solutions allows individuals and institutions to align their investments with their values by providing a safe conduit to create community revitalization and neighborhood improvement.

As a result of this approach, APDS works to enhance the bottom lines of our clients and deliver a more long-term impact. In conjunction with APDS, investors can put their money to work to build a more sustainable community while earning competitive returns today and over time. Our socially responsible investors include individuals and institutions, such as corporations, universities, hospitals, foundations, insurance companies, public and private pension funds, nonprofit organizations, and religious institutions.

APDS uses its funds to provide leverage, and serve as a catalyst, to create new access to credit, equity, capital and basic banking products that the communities we work in may otherwise lack. Every investor wants to own investments that perform well. A growing number also want investments that they feel contribute positively to the world. If you’re one of these investors, you may want to contact Russ Andrews at randrews@waterfallam.com.
