Is ESG the reason financial websites almost exclusively show women and minorities?

I can’t be the only one here who has noticed that pictures of the largest investor demographic are almost nowhere to be found on financial websites’ splash and login pages. Are pictures a way for these companies to boost their ESG scores?

Yes, ESG and this green BS is only going to hasten power wealth being consolidated in fewer hands. All part of the great resets plan.

I’ve noticed and you are probably correct.

No joke I have this exact same thought every time I log into Healthy Equity's website.

I own stock in an insurance company that is publicly traded.

ESG took up several pages of the annual report before I got to the first financial metric.

Disturbing

More disturbing - I only care about the earnings and capital - ESG has no place in insurance

APTIM used to be part of Shaw. It’s been sold and spun off a few times

To some extent, sure, but there is a big push to market to women and minorities for new clients.

You don’t particularly need to go out and convince white men to open a TDAmeritrade account or something like that.

ESG is same as CCP Social score. First they “cancelled” individuals. Not they are cancelling corporations and entire segments of the economy. Wake up.

The people who bitch the most about being represented get represented. Period.

Jeremy (razors) is right, it's past time to split the economy. Needed first is conservative credit.

Someone should open a non-ESG index or mutual fund

Unfortunately, the SEC says otherwise. Most of the public Companies I work with would not include this type of FS disclosure if it wasn't required by the SEC.
