“Graduating from a big bank to Genus was one of the best financial steps we've ever taken. Genus has delivered reliable asset growth despite our moderate risk tolerance. As our financial security has grown, we've also been the beneficiaries of a great client experience. The company's communications have been consistently transparent and informative, including educational webinars and a well-designed web portal where we can track investments daily. Most importantly to us, our portfolio manager has always responded swiftly and thoroughly to our questions and requests. ”

And they have been a great pleasure to work with.”

“Genus consistently provides a good, clearly explained, comprehensive picture of the general economic and financial situation, along with an excellent account of the investment decisions made in relation to this. Genus’ equally strong concern with clients’ questions and requests for further information is also a very important part of the service it provides.”
Allan S.
“Back in 1992 when I found myself at fifty with a substantial amount of money to invest, I knew just one thing — that I didn’t want to contribute to tobacco companies, arms manufacturers, or oil. But over the ensuing years the options for socially responsible investing have become far more sophisticated and I’m very happy that this is a big part of the Genus approach. I also very much appreciate the long-term relationship with my portfolio manager, Mary Lou.”
Ann P.

Leverage New Investment Opportunities and Mitigate Risks

A remarkable shift is underway as private and public entities, along with NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations), increasingly embrace sustainable products and services. This surge presents a wealth of compelling investment prospects.

As regulations shift and public sentiments evolve, markets may not always accurately gauge associated risks. In some cases, companies may find themselves compelled to abandon unsustainable ventures. By choosing fossil-free investments, you proactively minimize the risk of holding stranded assets within your portfolio.
