Description:

Is ESG investing on your radar yet? That stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance, and it’s a huge trend — particularly among women and millennials — who want to invest in companies they can feel good about. 

In this week’s episode, Jean sits down with Nicole Connolly, Head of ESG investing and Portfolio Manager for the Women’s Leadership Fund at Fidelity Investments. She breaks down how we can all put our money where our mouth is when it comes to supporting companies that are doing the right thing. Because, newsflash — we no longer have to choose between doing well financially and making an impact in the world. In fact, you can actually make more money by doing good. Nicole shares how some of the highest-ranking ESG companies outperform the market by around 2% per year, and breaks down how you can get involved, and use ESG as part of your overall investing and retirement strategy. Hint: These companies exist in every sector! 

Nicole also talks about the Women’s Leadership Fund at Fidelity Investments, a fund that invests in companies that support future female leaders. She dishes on why more companies today are doing the right thing by society and the world, by being more environmentally conscious, having more women in the C-suite, having more diversity on their boards, and much more. In other words, we can all get returns with a purpose and align our capital and our values in a way that also generates superior returns and is sustainable.  

Then, in mailbag, Jean breaks down tax laws for folks with side hustles, and talks about how we can all strike a balance between investing using your head and your heart. Lastly, in thrive, Jean breaks down eight reasons why you might be unhappy at work, and how to fix them.
