The idea of investing in good can often mean different things to different people both from a values perspective as well as from a risk/reward perspective.

Continuing our trend of centering women throughout women’s history month, this week we wanted to share a story of women & wealth, as told through a collection of quotes and statistics.

Many people have reached out in the past few days, for which I am immensely grateful. I haven’t known how to respond or what to say, so wanted to share my thoughts openly with you all.

The past year has exposed existing gender inequalities. We’re halfway through women’s history month and the articles keep coming on how the pandemic has dealt a harsh blow to women and their careers. What can we as investors do to push for gender parity?

When we started Good Capital in 2018, we built our practice around the idea that achieving financial goals was possible alongside creating positive societal and environmental impact.

While it might feel satisfying to watch bank accounts and investment accounts increase in size, once our needs are met, once we’ve reached our savings and investment goals, what more does a growing account give us?

Here’s how you can get started.

This holiday and giving season, we are launching a two week giving campaign starting today! We’ll be raising money for Feeding America, the nation’s largest hunger-relief organization. We’ve set a goal of $2000 for this two week campaign starting today and going through Dec 14th and are confident we’ll be able to smash it out of the water! We hope you’ll consider joining us!
