Episode Eleven: Does Ethical Investing Cost you Returns?

Most people assume ethical investing means making a trade-off – you can invest according to your values, or you can focus on returns. But that assumption is starting to change.

In this episode, Ben sits down with John Berry — Co-Founder & CEO of Pathfinder — to unpack what ethical investing actually means, whether investors really have to sacrifice returns, and how to know if your money aligns with your values.

John also breaks down the difference between ethical and impact investing, how managers navigate grey areas around major companies, why some “sustainable” funds may still hold businesses you wouldn’t expect, and how KiwiSaver investors can check what they actually own.

Shoutout to john Berry for coming on the podcast.
