Investment Tip

Sustainable funds are faring better than traditional investments.
Here’s why: 


Millennials & GenZers
Are Forcing A Revolution.

Driven in part by the activism of millennials who choose companies aligned with their values, ESG investing has surged
in recent years. Shareholder rebellions are on the rise too!

Planting Sustainable “Seeds”
Is On The Rise.

There is an investor sea change going on. 

For those paying attention, ESG investing is outperforming
the non-ESG market. 

It is also preferable in a turbulent and unstable market. 

Those who invest in solving our global climate crisis will leave a sustainable gift unknown heretofore to humanity!

According to the Kauffman Foundation, startups led by women achieve a 35% higher return on investment. Also, businesses founded by women and VC backed deliver more than 2 times as much per dollar invested than those founded by men. Plus, diversity in management correlates with greater innovation.

If this is true, do you find it outrageous that women founders get only 2% of investor funds?! (Source: Fortune)

There’s plenty of evidence  that companies prioritizing ESG issues actually generate superior long-term financial performance across a range of metrics — including sales growth, return on equity (ROE), return on invested capital (ROIC), and even alpha (market out-performance).
