So you’ve decided you want to invest your money. You want it to work for you and help you achieve your goals in life rather than leave it sitting idle. But perhaps you want to do more than seek out good returns, and also invest with meaning? Just as many of us try to purchase consumer products that are aligned with our values and interests, in recent years more and more people have sought to invest in ways that are more consistent with their broader priorities and preferences.
For some people, this might mean wanting to invest in companies that are at the forefront of the clean energy transition, while others might want to invest in companies or industries that are seeking to transform people’s lives. For instance, you might feel passionate about healthcare and the potential for life-changing medical breakthroughs. Or you might believe that the biggest hope for the future lies in developing and harnessing technology. You might believe several of these things at once.
