Amy Lee Domini (born January 25, 1950) is an American investment adviser and author known for her work in social investing.
Early life and education
[edit | edit source]Amy Lee Domini was born on January 25, 1950, in New York City, to Margot Cabot (Colt), a teacher, and Enzo Vice Domini, who owned a food-processing business.[1][2] Domini's great-grandfather Joseph Lee was the author of Constructive and Preventive Philanthropy (Macmillan, 1902).[2][3] Domini grew up in Newtown, Connecticut, and received a BA from Boston University in 1973.[1]
Career
[edit | edit source]After college, Domini began work as a copy-clerk for brokerage firm Tucker Anthony, and rose through the ranks quickly to become a retail broker.[2][4] She began working in socially responsible investing in 1980.[2] She is the founder and chief executive officer of Domini Impact Investments and one of the founders of KLD Research & Analytics, a research firm.[1] In 1990 with partners Peter Kinder and Steve Lyndenberg, she created the Domini 400 Social Index, a stock market index selected according to social and environmental standards.[5] In 1991 she founded the Domini Social Impact Equity Fund, an index fund based on the Domini 400 Social Index.[4] The fund held $1.3 billion in assets as of 2001 and over its first ten years rose 15.08 percent compared with 15.25 percent growth for the S&P 500 in the same period.[6] Only 25 percent of all funds performed on par with the S&P in that period and the success of Domini's fund helped establish socially responsible investing as compatible with strong financial returns, where previously the field was seen as low-performing in this respect.[2]
In 2005, Time named Domini to its list of the world's most influential people.[5]
Domini is the author of books including Socially Responsible Investing: Making a Difference and Making Money[7] and The Challenges of Wealth.[8] She is the coauthor of Investing for Good,[9] The Social Investment Almanac,[10] and Ethical Investing.[11]
Domini served on the boards of the Church Pension Fund of the Episcopal Church;[12] the National Association of Community Development Loan Funds,[13] an organization whose members work to create funds for grassroots economic development loans;[14] and the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility.[13]
Personal life
[edit | edit source]Domini was married to Peter Kinder from 1980 to 1997; she later remarried.[15] She has two sons.[2]
