Discovering home

In 1962, in the midst of war and social unrest, John F. Kennedy urged a divided nation to set sail on a “new sea.” To do the hard things “because there is knowledge to be gained, and new rights to be won.”

Impelled by JFK’s words, Apollo 8 reached the moon on December 24, 1968 and sent an image that changed the course of humanity. A small, blue marble emerging over the lunar horizon. Our home.


“We set out to explore the moon and instead discovered the Earth.”
— Apollo 8 astronaut


That postcard of our planet’s beauty, smallness, and oneness is the inspiration for our name. A constant reminder to invest in a holistic way. Reach beyond our grasp. Do the hard things that plant the seeds of hope and progress.

 
 
 
 
 

WHO WE SERVE

A Community of Stakeholders

We believe it’s our fiduciary duty to invest sustainably. This means acting in the highest interest of our clients, society, and the planet. This belief underlies every portfolio we manage and how we operate as a whole.

Sustainable investing has come a long way since we started. A small community of investors has grown into a global shareholder movement creating one of the best performing and fastest-growing forms of investment management today.

Our knowledge and deep commitment sets us apart, and our work has been recognized in The Economist, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and CNBC. Whether it’s the simplicity of our online portfolios, meeting face-to-face, or just starting with a phone call, we want to make voting your money easier and more accessible than ever before.

That photo of our home from afar still inspires us. It reminds us that clients want more than advice, they want to be stakeholders in a community that shares their vision for a better world.

If that’s you, we invite you to join us.
