Listen "Fossil Fuel Free Retirement Options with Alex Wright-Gladstein"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Future of Finance, host George Dyer speaks with Alex Wright-Gladstein, founder and CEO of Sphere, a mutual fund company revolutionizing retirement investing by offering fossil fuel-free options. Many people unknowingly invest in fossil fuels through their 401(k)s, as plan administrators often default to funds with heavy industry exposure. And many plans don’t even offer options that would give people the choice to avoid the sector if they want to. Alex shares insights on the financial risks of fossil fuel investments, the growing demand for sustainable investing, and the power of divestment. She also provides actionable steps for individuals to push for fossil fuel-free options in their retirement plans.
