It was announced today that the couple have been recruited by US ethical investment firm as ‘impact partners’ and as investors. Ethic is an investment fund based in New York, and which has funds of $1.3 billion under management. By venturing into sustainable investing, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex hope to raise awareness of social issues like climate change and racial inequality, as well as to help “democratize investing” and to help young people become “more deliberate in their choices and conscious of investing in sustainable companies.” In an interview with Dealbook, Meghan said, “From the world I come from, you don’t talk about investing, right? “You don’t have the luxury to invest. That sounds so fancy.” Explaining that she and Harry were introduced to Ethic by friends, she went on, “My husband has been saying for years, ‘Gosh, don’t you wish there was a place where if your values were aligned like this, you could put your money to that same sort of thing?’” Meanwhile, Harry said that the younger generations are “voting with their dollars and their pounds” when it comes to which brands they want to support. In a statement published on Archewell, the website for their charitable foundation, Harry and Meghan wrote, " When we invest in each other we change the world… “Be it through the investment of time (as with mentoring), investment in community (as with volunteering), or the investment of funds (for those who have the means to), our choices—of how and where we put our energy—define us as a global community. “We believe it’s time for more people to have a seat at the table when decisions are made that impact everyone. We want to rethink the nature of investing to help solve the global issues we all face. “Our impact partnership with Ethic is one of the ways we put our values in action.” Next up, Wow!
