Grow Wealth, Add Value to the World

Sustainable investing stands out as responsible wealth creation. What does it indeed mean, though? The answers vary, but let’s demystify sustainable investing by understanding it to grow your returns and contribute positively to the world.  As the recent podcast with Ben Vivari and Kylelane Purcell mentions, “it’s generating returns while interacting well with the rest of the world.”  It’s about forging a path where your investments don’t merely extract profits from others but generate returns by adding genuine value to the global community.

 

    • Defining Sustainable Investing

      Embarking on a journey into sustainable investing requires a clear understanding of its essence. It’s an approach that seeks to align financial goals with ethical considerations. When you invest sustainably, you prioritize companies and projects that prioritize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. This approach ensures that your financial growth is intertwined with positive contributions to society and the planet.

      Investing with sustainability in mind is not just about profits; it’s about creating a meaningful impact. By choosing businesses committed to sustainable practices, you participate in a global movement fostering responsible and ethical economic growth.

       

    • Generating Returns by Adding Value

      One of the core principles of sustainable investing is generating returns by adding value rather than extracting profits. Traditional investment models often involve exploiting resources without considering long-term consequences. Sustainable investing flips this script by encouraging investments in ventures that contribute positively to the well-being of the environment, communities, and society. 

      For instance, companies prioritizing renewable energy, ethical labor practices, and community engagement become the focus of sustainable investments. Investors actively create a better world by supporting such enterprises while enjoying financial returns.

       

 

  • Interacting Well with the Global Community

    Sustainable investing involves more than just financial transactions; it’s about actively participating in the global community. This means engaging with socially responsible, environmentally conscious, and ethically driven businesses. By doing so, investors become catalysts for positive change on a global scale.

    Interacting well with the world through sustainable investing includes supporting businesses prioritizing diversity, equality, and environmental conservation. It’s about fostering a symbiotic relationship where financial success goes hand in hand with societal and ecological well-being.

 

Sustainable investing isn’t just an answer to a financial question; it’s a philosophy that harmonizes wealth creation with responsible global citizenship. 

By choosing sustainable investments, you secure returns and actively contribute to building a better worldSo, consider the positive impact you can make through your investment choices, as the path to financial success intertwines with the well-being of our planet and its inhabitants.

The Client a $1.4 Billion Advisor Won’t Take with Jonathan Steele

What if the way you think about money today traces back to something that happened when you were twelve or thirteen? On this episode of Wealth B-Hers, Dr. Felecia Froe sits down with Jonathan Steele, founder and chief investment officer of One Wealth Advisors, a firm managing $1.4 billion for roughly 400 families.

ICYMI: Creating Social Impact Through Real Estate Investing with Felecia Froe

Dr. Felecia Froe made her first real estate investment years before she even knew she was an investor. She was five years into her medical practice when it hit her that this wasn’t the last thing she’d ever do. In this ICYMI crossover from Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, she tells host Jonathan Greene how an office building she bought with fellow women physicians turned out to be that first deal, though she didn’t realize it until years later. From there she built fast, lost hard in 2008, and rebuilt into Money With Mission, a community that helps professional women use real estate as a financial escape hatch from bad jobs and bad relationships.

Foundations #11: The Cost of Waiting

There’s a kind of waiting that doesn’t feel like waiting. You know exactly what you need to do. You’ve meant to do it for longer than you’d like to admit. You keep finding a reason why right now isn’t quite the right time, and you tell yourself that’s responsible, that’s thoughtful, that’s just good timing. In episode 11 of the Wealth B-Hers Foundations series, Dr. Felecia Froe is done letting that story stand. She breaks down exactly what waiting costs, the compound growth that quietly disappears, the confidence that erodes one avoided month at a time, the low hum of 2am anxiety that never fully goes away. She shares her own experience starting over in the middle of real loss after 2008, and she lands on something most financial advice never says out loud: the perfect moment to begin is never coming, for anyone.
