About this episode

Do you feel it? The tide is changing and that’s a good thing. You want more – you want to invest in companies focused on sustainability, doing good for the planet, companies that you believe in. Sustainable investing is the wave of the future and investing expert Sarah Bengtsson will show you how you can invest sustainably and build wealth at the same time.


Meet Sarah

Sarah is an investor and educator who teaches people how to build generational wealth that is sustainable both for themselves, and the planet.

Investing has never been more accessible than it is today, and even though the definition of sustainability is highly debatable, it gets easier when you start with asking yourself, “What do I actually care about?”.

Sarah has an MSc in Economics from Lund University and several years of experience working in the wealth management industry in both Sweden and Switzerland.


What You'll Learn

  • What does it mean to invest sustainably
  • How to get started investing sustainably
  • Trends that are emerging in sustainable investing

  • Money lessons to build sustainable wealth
