If you invested in fossil fuel companies in the past 50 years, you were doing your job right. These were high-performing investments that created jobs, and generated products and services that were vital to the global economy. Now the land is shifting beneath your feet. Thanks to the economic, social and environmental impact of climate change, the future we want to invest in won’t be running on fossil fuel.
So Where Do You Go From Here?
Divesting comes down to rethinking investing. You may be wondering where to move your money, where the opportunities lie. Divestment isn’t the end of the road. It also opens up new opportunities. You can invest in funds and companies pursuing contrarian ideas, inventions and disruptions. There’s real promise here. Because these investments will transform industries and economies, while delivering market-rate returns.
Opening Your Eyes To Overlooked Demands.
Valuable investments are hiding in plain sight. We see vast opportunity in finding business solutions to global challenges that are urgent and growing. So we created Reinventure Capital to invest in solutions vital to the future we want to create. Particularly those responding to overlooked needs in areas of health and energy efficiency. We are deliberately looking for investments that generate high returns because they offer better solutions to unmet social demands. We will bring these to the light of day and provide an alternative way of investing. Private investment. A focus on less competitive market segments. High returns from unmet, yet expanding, needs on a global scale. Intentional social impact.
Looking At Untapped Resources.
Here’s another way to think about opportunity. We see a large reservoir of untapped entrepreneurial talent as well. Companies run by women and people of color harbor extraordinary business potential, yet they are constrained by lack of capital. These are people with brilliance to burn. Yet study after study has confirmed they are virtually invisible to the investment community. We are rigorously selecting and seeking out these underserved entrepreneurs and innovators. They are already working to apply scalable technologies and business models to our target segments, and we want to build their companies into a distinctly high-value portfolio.
If you are already divesting, consider joining the growing numbers of investors putting their money to work to get the future they want. You’ve already taken the first step. Now adopt a powerful new perspective. Build a high performing portfolio by looking around the edges. Meet the demand for change creatively and imaginatively by being — contrary.
We’re reinventing investing. We invite you to join us in envisioning a future you want to invest in.
