Group, an independent Registered Investment Advisor offering
clients investment advisory services customized to their future
goals, announced today that it will underwrite two upcoming
Pennsylvania Environmental Council events including its June 8

client's futures, but also in the future of the planet.
"As an entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience in the

environment by promoting sustainability and helping clients figure
out the long-term financial benefits of greening their lives," said
Wiley. "We are proud to support the Pennsylvania Environmental
Council and the work that they do."
Details of the events are:
41st ANNUAL PHILADELPHIA DINNER
On June 8, the Wiley Group will be the premier sponsor of the 41st
Annual Philadelphia Dinner, the region's premier environmental
dinner event hosted by PEC. Jim Wiley will be introducing the
evening's keynote speakers - PA Department of Environmental
Protection Secretary Michael Krancer and PA Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources Secretary Richard Allan.
That evening, Philadelphia Water Department Commissioner
Howard Neukrug will be awarded the Curtin Winsor Award. Named for
the PEC's founder and longtime President, the Winsor Award honors
distinguished environmental leaders for their lifetime
achievement.
ENVIRONMENT RIDE
An avid runner and cyclist, Wiley embraces wellness in all areas
of his life, including his ongoing personal efforts to promote
sustainability. From Friday, June 24 to Sunday, June 26,
2011, he will be riding in the Pennsylvania Environmental Council's
Environment Ride, a 170-mile bike route from Elizabethtown, Pa. to
Center City Philadelphia, designed to support the Pennsylvania
Environment Council's extensive trail and greenway work. This ride
will support PEC's effort to build new bike and pedestrian paths in
Pennsylvania, filling in some of the gaps in a planned 108-mile
network that eventually will link Philadelphia, Reading, Chester,
New Hope, Cherry Hill and Trenton.

"PEC is thrilled to have the Wiley Group's support, and in
particular, Jim's participation in our first-ever Environment Ride,
putting his passion for sustainability in motion," said Patrick
Starr, Senior Vice President of the Pennsylvania Environmental
Council. "Access to jobs and to natural resources is vital to
sustain healthy communities, and PEC's leadership to complete gaps
in the regional trails along the Delaware and Schuylkill Rivers is
a game changer for our region."
GREEN INVESTING
Not only is the Wiley Group committed to the efforts of PEC, but
they are also spreading the word among their clients about why
sustainable investing makes good sense in the long term, as well.
Alex Cabot, senior quantitative analyst for the Wiley Group,
recently researched a cost outlay for "greening" one's home
(unplugging chargers not in use, switching light bulbs, adding a
geothermal heating system, purchasing a fuel-efficient car).
He found that over 30 years, assuming a 7% asset growth rate, one
could save more than $220,000 by making an investment up front.
And total CO2 savings, as a result, would equal approximately
24,000 tons for the household per year.
"Making this investment is not just good for the environment,
but also good for long-term financial success," said Cabot. "The
money people can save by making their homes more energy-efficient
and investing the money saved is substantial enough to justify the
investment."
