Opportunities and Risks of Fossil Free Investing
As You Sow hosted a webinar, on April 22, to discuss the opportunities and risks of fossil free investing and how aligning investing with your values may be your safest path to a secure retirement portfolio. Fossil fuel companies - from "supermajors" like ExxonMobil to small oil-field service companies - have been the most volatile and weakest financially performing sector in the U.S. for the last decade. This was before the COVID-19 pandemic brought on a sudden economic slowdown, and the price of oil collapsed to a nearly two-decade low. The webinar also included a tour of FossilFreeFunds.org.
Panelists included:
Andrew Behar, CEO of As You Sow
Mark Campanale, Founder & Executive Chairman of Carbon Tracker
Kathy Hipple, Financial Analyst of Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis
Bob Litterman, Partner at Kepos Capital
