Show Notes

​​The Childfree Wealth Podcast, hosted by Bri Conn and Dr. Jay Zigmont, CFP®, is a financial and lifestyle podcast that explores the unique perspectives and concerns of childfree individuals and couples. In this episode, Bri & Dr. Jay discuss ESGs.


ESGs investing, short for Environmental, Social, Governance, is based on the concept of avoiding companies that include oil, weapons manufacturing, & exploit child labor. It has gained traction over the years by those looking to be socially conscious in their investments. However, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. Not only have ESGs historically shown lower returns, opponents of ESGs & trying to prevent advisors from discussing them.
