Welcome to The Conscious Investor

Nearly every aspect of our lives is touched by money.

Capital is the means to live and prosper. It builds cities and realizes dreams. It nourishes ideas and perpetuates growth. It is a reality of life. And yet, money can be riddled in controversy, shame, confusion and taboo.

Within the investment world specifically, there is a schism between the role capital investment plays in our lives: There are those who feel the sole purpose of investing is to gain a financial return, and those who believe that the essence of investing carries potential to do good in the world. In considering both sides, research unveils there is a growing belief in the latter. More people are believing that investing is not only an opportunity to build wealth, it is an invitation to create needed, positive, lasting change. There exists the expanding world of impacting investing.

This marriage of money and meaning—beyond the traditional models of charity and philanthropy—suggests a new frontier. That is what we are exploring here at The Conscious Investor. Every week we will shed a light on the world of impact investing. We will break assumptions, seek the advice of seasoned experts, and offer a compass for anyone who wants to get involved. We will ask questions and spotlight changemakers. We will feature thought leaders and belief shifters. Ultimately, we will provide a platform in hopes to inspire anyone who is eager to move their personal needle toward good.

The mission of The Conscious Investor is to illustrate the potential of impact investing and the possibilities of marrying profits with purpose. It is a beacon for what is possible and a means to create a world where humanity, peace, and prosperity is not a privilege but a part of every person's life in all decisions that they make.
