We’re operating within a financial system that is designed to be “extractive of people and the planet,” says Phuong Luong, founder of Just Wealth and Investment Strategist at Robasciotti & Philipson.
This is where impact investing comes in. Simply put, impact investing means we, “Invest in the world we want to see,” according to Kristin Hull, founder, CEO and CIO of Nia Impact Capital.
While the current landscape can feel daunting, getting to reimagine investing as a tool to create a more just and equitable society is an exciting proposition. “When you put your resources toward something, you’re saying ‘I want more of this,’” says Robasciotti. If, like many professional women, you’ve been avoiding conversations about money, consider how you can take a first step toward investing in the world you want to see.
As McQuiggan explains, you can acknowledge the issues that are most important to you and chart where your investment portfolio might align with or contradict your values. Even if you choose to remain in certain funds, you’ll at least be aware of the companies you have money in. Changemaker Strategies founder Tuti Scott explains it this way, “For true systems change to happen, conversations around gender, money, race and power need to happen within families, organizations and throughout every sector.”
Beginning with these conversations, there is tremendous opportunity to make impact. As What Will It Take Movements founder Marianne Schnall shared, “It is time for women—and all of us—to move our money and resources in alignment with our values and use money as a transformative force to help create the more equitable, just, sustainable world we envision.”
