Patrick McVeigh
President & Chief Investment Officer

Patrick is widely recognized and respected as a pioneer in bringing together traditional investment management with socially responsible investing. He has more than 35 years of experience in the industry, including helping to found Reynders, McVeigh in 2005.

Patrick was one of the three original employees at Trillium Asset Management, one of the first investment management firms dedicated solely to ethical investing. In addition to leading that firm’s research efforts and serving as editor of Investing for a Better World, Patrick wrote a series of groundbreaking studies conducted by the Social Investment Forum that tracked the growth of socially responsible investing and its implications in the investment markets. He served as a founding board member of SEED, a community loan fund that worked with cooperatives in Haiti.

Prior to entering the investment field, Patrick worked in community economic development. He began his efforts as a VISTA volunteer and helped create the San Jose Food Co-op and the first recycling center in that city. He also managed the Youth Opportunity Program at Stanford University, which created jobs and educational opportunities on the campus for low-income teenagers and adults. Patrick is currently on the board of the Waltham YMCA and has previously been on the board of the Waltham Fields Community Farm. He received his BA from Santa Clara University and was named the Scholar-Athlete of the Year of the West Coast Athletic Conference in 1978, partly in recognition of his efforts to start the cross-country team there. He continues to enjoy running (you can follow him on the social media app Strava and on the B.A.A. and Boston Marathon app) and triathlons. He has four children and lives in the oldest house (built in 1716) in Waltham, Massachusetts.
