Strive Launches ESG Transparency Campaign for Financial AdvisorsToday Strive Asset Management (Strive) launches its financial education campaign - 5 Questions to Ask Your Financial Advisor - to further educate everyday investors about where exactly their money is going in the new year. Millions of everyday investors entrust their money to wealth managers, 401k plan administrators, and pension funds - yet many don't know that their stock portfolios or retirement funds could be unintentionally fueling political activism across corporate America through environmental, social, and governance (ESG) investing and shareholder voting practices. Without financial transparency, investors run the risk that their money is being used in ways that don't align with their financial goals. In recent years, large asset managers have used trillions of dollars of capital toadvance politically motivated agendas like "racial equity audits," environmental pledges, and demographic quotas in corporate boardrooms. Strive suggests that individuals ask five questions to their financial advisors, 401k plan administrators, and/or pension fund board members at the start of this year to ensure that their funds are invested in alignment with their goals:
"Many Americans are unaware that their funds are being used to promote environmental and social agendas that they do not agree with," notes Vivek Ramaswamy, Executive Chairman of Strive. "Every investor has the right to know whether their money is being funneled to advance someone else's agenda. We hope to empower individuals with knowledge so that they can make informed investment decisions." About Strive Asset Management: Strive is an Ohio-based asset management firm whose mission is to restore the voices of everyday citizens in the American economy by leading companies to focus on excellence over politics. Strive will compete directly with the world's largest asset managers by launching funds that advance "Excellence Capitalism" in boardrooms across corporate America.
