Capitola, CA (June 23, 2021) |
The Investment Services team at Bay Federal Credit Union, located in Capitola, CA, has announced that LPL Financial Advisor Sam Solgan has received the Chartered SRI Counselor (CSRIC) designation. The CSRIC designation is the first major financial credential fully dedicated to sustainable investing.
This designation identifies Mr. Solgan as a financial professional that has the background, knowledge, and situational awareness to help clients invest in sustainable, responsible, and impact investments (SRI).
SRI is an investment discipline that considers environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) criteria to generate long-term competitive financial returns and positive societal impact.
Mr. Solgan has been at Investment Services at Bay Federal Credit Union since 2013 and has worked in the financial industry since 2009. He is an active member of the local community, working with the Cabrillo Host Lions chapter of Lions Club International.
“I was excited to earn my CSRIC designation in order to expand my existing investment skillset and to align my passion for helping the environment and various social causes,” Mr. Solgan said. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to educate our local community about their options, help them integrate their personal values and purpose into their investment portfolio strategy, and measure the impact of these investments over the long term. As Mahatma Gandhi once said, ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world’.”
“We are so proud of Sam for receiving this designation,” said Tonée Picard, EVP/Program Manager of Investment Services at Bay Federal Credit Union. “Sam’s enthusiasm and passion for sustainable investing is evident in not only assisting our clients to strive and pursue their financial goals, but also trying to make our community and world a better place.”
