A trillion dollar shift in family wealth is beginning to change the world: one step at a time. See how The G9 'Empowered Families' programme has acted as a catalyst for change within the worlds wealthiest families just by asking one simple question.

1. Empowered
Families
Changing the world one step at a time
THINK!

2. One step
If 1% of your wealth is invested in ‘Socially
Responsible Investments’ it means that 99%
of your wealth is invested in Socially
Irresponsible Investments’.

3. One step
We shouldn’t even have the phrase ‘Socially
Responsible Investing’ because ALL
investing should be Socially Responsible.

4. One step
If you already avoid investing in
tobacco, gambling and weapons of war you
have taken the first steps to being a Socially
Responsible Investor.

5. One step
The next step is easy. Just ask a simple
question each time you are making an
investment:
‘Do I care what this company does and how
it does it?’

6. One step
There may be varying degrees of response
which will strike a chord with any human
being, but at its most basic level:
Is it likely to cause serious harm to people or
the planet?

7. One step
Having eliminated your ‘toxic’ investments
you may wish to consider actively screening
for companies or funds that act with a
conscience.
The easiest way to do this is to look for an
active policy towards ESG:
Environmental
Social
Governance

8. One step
ESG is a statistical marker for good
management – it should enhance your
portfolio

9. One step
..but maybe your pace is speeding up

10. One step
Maybe you want to have an impact on the
world. Making money AND doing good
things.

11. One step
It need not be a compromise:
Sustainability
Green Tech
Renewable Energy
Water
Waste
…emerging sectors where the financial returns
are strong

12. One step
…and these investments will engage you in a
way that no other purely financial investment
can.
Because it has the ability to stir your heart
and your mind

13. One step
You can work with your family to transform
the way you do things; empowering your
children to use ALL of the family’s wealth in
a socially responsible way

14. One step
If the 1% of families in the world who control
99% of the worlds wealth become
Empowered Families, the seismic shift of
capital will drive the global financial markets
and their institutions to refocus

15. One step
…and the impact upon our future will be
profound

16. One step
All it takes, is for each and every one one of
you to take the first step
..and the world will be a better place
