  • Sustainable investing helps you make money and a better world
  • Many surveys and studies prove that demand is high

When you invest your money, do you invest just to make money, or do you also factor in other issues that you care about? In the past, profits and returns were the only things that mattered to investors. Nowadays, investors demand a bit more when evaluating their results. They not only want to make money; they want to make a change.

Investors Care! Here’s the proof!

The proof that people care is in the numbers.

  1. Morgan Stanley surveyed millennial investors and found that 90% of them want to be able to invest their retirement savings sustainably. They also found that 80% want to have choices, in regards to which impactful projects they invest in. With Physis, you choose the sustainability issues you care most about and your customized portfolio tailors your investments towards making those problems go away.
