Team 10 : The Conscious Investor

We aim to give investors a new lens to view their stock portfolio, by giving them information about a company’s social, environmental, and governance values.

Comment

We aim to empower young retail investors today who don't have a way of evaluating their portfolios and getting recommendations on which stocks to invest in based on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) metrics they care about. Our solution would help bring transparency to investing in companies and increase access to an intelligent tool that is customized per investor. Our tool would help customers consider ESG metrics in their investment strategy that often go unmeasured. Our solution will cater to investor-specific beliefs to help mitigate risks and provide a higher return on their investment. We also aim to influence companies to make more social, environment-friendly decisions. Our tool would be a web application which will have the following pages (Appendix 1): Home, Financial Info, ESG, Search and Recommendations. The way we will aim to make money through our project is through a freemium model where the recommendations on companies will be paid but the ESG health of the portfolio will be free.
