Investing consciously
If you have funds to invest, you may just hand them over to your financial planner or wealth manager and say, “Just make sure my money is diversified.” But then she puts that into hundreds of stocks, some of which may represent companies with practices you don’t love. Have you looked at what specific stocks you’re in? When your money goes into those, you support those companies. Maybe some of those are companies that are known for using unfair labor practices, or polluting the environment, or ignoring countless sexual harassment allegations on the part of their employees. You can give your financial planner parameters so that she does not put your money in the stocks of certain unethical companies.
