Mkutano wa Wawekezaji kuhusu Uhamiaji na Uchumi
Muhtasari ufuatao kuhusu thamani ya kiuchumi ya uhamiaji na hatari zinazoweza kuwapata wawekezaji kutokana na sera za utekelezaji wa uhamiaji za Utawala wa Trump umeandaliwa na Programu ya Usimamizi wa Mtaji ya Chama cha Wafanyakazi wa Huduma cha Kimataifa. Programu ya Usimamizi wa Mtaji inafanya kazi na wanachama wa SEIU wanaoshiriki katika mipango ya pensheni ya sekta ya umma na binafsi yenye jumla ya mali ya zaidi ya dola trilioni $1 na hutoa taarifa muhimu kwa wadhamini na wasimamizi wengine wa kifedha wanaohudumu katika mipango hiyo. Chama cha Wafanyakazi wa Huduma cha Kimataifa (SEIU) kinawakilisha wanachama zaidi ya milioni mbili kote Amerika Kaskazini katika sekta mbalimbali. Hati hii ni mwitikio wa maombi yanayoongezeka kutoka kwa wasimamizi wa amana kuhusu iwapo sera mpya za uhamiaji zinaweza kuwa na athari kwa mkusanyiko wa uwekezaji au washiriki wa mipango. SEIU haina sifa wala haijasajiliwa kutoa ushauri wa uwekezaji, na pia muhtasari huu haujapi ushauri wowote wa uwekezaji.
What Institutional Investors Can Do
- Investors can reach out to companies, investment managers and investment consultants where they are invested or manage assets on their behalf and ask them to disclose the impacts of the current immigration detention and deportation practices on their business and investments.
- Investors, more specifically public pension funds, can conduct an analysis to determine whether there is an adverse actuarial impact to their pension funds from the loss of local, county and state revenues, loss of plan participants, lack of employer contributions or decrease in consumer spending attributable to Trump’s immigration policies.
- Investors can engage their federal, state and local elected officials to highlight any potential impact the immigration dragnet has on their portfolio.
- Engage with trade associations, chambers of commerce and business groups to lobby for an immediate halt to the current immigration policy and enforcement crackdown.
- Investors can require investment managers and investment consultants to disclose which current and prospective investments fund private contractors involved in the detention and deportation transport of immigrants.
