New Impact Insight - 30 March 2024

Does your Bank Invest in Your Values?

Together We RISE: Rewarding Investments through Smart Education

Hello RISE Impact Enthusiasts,

I'm over the moon about the wave of enthusiasm and support we received following last week’s newsletter on the groundbreaking women -founded plant-based luxury leather alternative with letters of intent from Dolce & Gabbana. It’s clear we’re all on the same investment page when it comes to championing environmental sustainability, social equity, and fostering fair economic growth.

If you would like to learn all the diverse ways to invest in alignment with your values, across all asset classes - I invite you to join our free 3-day Impact Workshop: "Grow Your Wealth, Impact the World".

As a reminder, we maintain a comprehensive database of private vetted, exclusive, impactful investments that includes everything from startups to established funds and real estate, spanning all areas of impact. These opportunities vary; some have specific participation qualifications, while others are more accessible. We do this because we all have different levels of savings, communities, and can participate in impact at different levels. Either way, as always, let's share this valuable knowledge of values aligned investing with our loved ones, including our children (it's never too early to start!), friends, and broader community. With that said, let's explore this week’s impactful opportunity.

TEACHING IMPACT INVESTING

🌟 Is Your Bank Investing in Your Values or Against Them?

🤔 Opening Thought: Consider your bank not just as a vault for your money, but as a crucial partner in championing (or challenging) your values. Is your money working for the causes you care about, or is it supporting what you stand against?

🌈 Surprising Insight: As soon as you deposit money, it begins a journey. Your bank could be using it to support your most cherished causes or, unfortunately, the very issues you oppose. Think about the change you would love to see in the world and think about what you are against supporting. Capital helps to grow - good or bad.

💡 Why It Matters: Your bank's choices could significantly impact causes close to your heart—environmental protection, social justice, corporate accountability. Or, it could support initiatives you do not want to support. It's essential to ensure your bank aligns with your values, not contradicts them.

🚀 Action Steps:

Investigate: Dig into your bank's investments and ethical commitments through their reports and direct queries.

Inquire: Ask your bank directly about how they use your money. Demand transparency.

💥 The Bigger Picture: Imagine the collective power if we all chose banks aligned with our values.

📣 Closing Call: Let's initiate deeper conversations about how our financial choices shape the future.

Look around at the real estate and businesses out there—there are ones that prioritize making the world better for you and your generation, and some that don't. We want to support those that prioritize these principles. We look for solid plans with great people leading.
