A new startup is turning investment dollars into solutions and profits. Unlike mainstream mutual funds, which direct investors’ money towards gun manufacturers and fossil fuel companies, Swell funnels investments towards companies focused on solving major global challenges. Swell rates companies for their environmental and social performance, as well as their financial potential. With a minimum investment of $500, you can choose to invest in any combination of their six portfolios, including one that is dedicated to eliminating waste or another that supports renewable energy.
