About Us

Boston Common Asset Management is a full service, employee-owned social investment firm dedicated to the pursuit of financial return and social change. We offer individual and institutional investors an unrivaled range of customized portfolio management products, designed to meet all of our clients' diverse investment needs under one roof. We complement prudent portfolio management with a unique blend of customized social screening and shareholder advocacy.

Boston Common Asset Management was formed at year-end 2002, when Geeta Aiyer left her post as President and Senior Portfolio Manager of Walden Asset Management, the social investment division of the United States Trust Company of Boston. She was joined in the new venture by a core team who had been together at Walden Capital since it was an independent entity in the mid-1990s. Boston Common has benefited from the reputation we established at Walden and from the loyalty of our client base; we continue to grow a vibrant, new business on this foundation, celebrating our five year anniversary with the recent addition of our West Coast Office.

Our team is experienced, cohesive, and well-rounded. To learn more about our employees, see our staff biographies.

Boston Common

Beginning in 1634, the Boston Common served as a common pasture for cattle grazing. As a public good, the Common was a space owned by no one but essential to all. We chose the name Boston Common because, like the Common of old, our work stands at the intersection of the economic and social lives of the community.
