Alex Vynokur: Making sustainable investing accessible to everybody, through ETFs

Good Future

Alex Vynokur is the CEO and founder of Betashares, and he’s well placed to help us understand the market impact of the corona-virus, and what we can expect in coming months. Betashares is only ten years old, but it pioneered the use of ETF’s, or exchange traded funds here in Australia. And they have a suite of ethical and sustainable funds that they manage through their own investment committee. Alex is a business-man, and he’s a fund manager. He’s been deep in the Australian financial sector for a long time. So I value his views on the reaction that we’ve seen from the public, the government and markets, to the corona crisis. We talked about the impacts ETF’s have had on investing over the past decade, and also, how resilient they’ve proved to be in a major correction. Plus the decision making process for removing companies that don’t live up to their ethical and sustainability standards. All the show notes are at www.johntreadgold.com Enjoy!
