About Us

First Affirmative Financial Network is an independent Registered Investment Advisor that specializes in serving socially conscious investors. We know that how and where you direct your investments can have a significant impact on people, communities, and the natural environment. We design investment portfolios to help achieve your financial goals while reflecting your vision of the future.

We offer investment consulting and design investment portfolios for individuals and institutions who wish to put their money to work for a dual purpose—to provide for a secure retirement or the long-term viability of an organization, for example, while working for a better, more socially just and environmentally sustainable future for all.

We support a nationwide network of qualified investment professionals who provide financial planning and investment consulting services in their local markets. Follow this link to Find An Advisor in your area

First Affirmative Financial Network, LLC is owned by its employees, many of its associated advisers and by many of the key organizations within the social investment industry. Employees own 60% of the company. Twenty-three advisers own 9% of the company, with no one adviser owning more than 1.4%. Seven organizations that offer investment products that FAFN may recommend own 23% of the company, with no one organization owning over 5%. The other 8% is owned by persons or businesses with whom FAFN has business relationships. Except for George Gay, CEO and Steven Schueth, President, no person or business owns 5% or more of the company. Due to the ownership structure, there is the possibility of conflict of interest in making investment recommendations. This possibility is considered slight, and other supervisory and due diligence processes in the company are designed to mitigate this conflict.
