About the Webinar

Is it possible to invest our money in a way that makes the world a better place? What does “ethical” really mean in an investing context? How do you know it’s not all just ‘marketing’? 

​​​​​​​More and more people want to make sure their money is invested in companies that improve the planet, and not destroy it. Increasingly, people are opting-out of investments that fund gambling, tobacco, fossil fuels, animal cruelty, and turning towards alternative options.

SkilledSmart has brought together two incredible financial experts to talk about ethical investing. We’ll be talking about what “ethical” even means in an investing context, what to look for in ethical ETFs, what are the downsides (if any!), and much more. We will also take audience Q&A at the end. 

Date: Monday, 15 June
Time: 6.00PM AEST
Replay: Available for 24 hours.
