New York:
Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle have forged yet another business enterprise partnership — this time in the world of finance, teaming up with an asset management corporation advertising socially accountable investments.
In addition to investing aspect of their savings with the New York corporation, the couple will take on a new function as “impact partners,” the firm Ethic mentioned Tuesday on its web-site, devoid of specifying the precise nature of the job.
The royal couple “share a lot of values with us, and we suspect, with many of you as well,” Ethic mentioned.
“Working together, we hope to inform, educate and inspire widespread action around some of the most significant and defining issues of our time,” the corporation added.
In an interview with the New York Times, the couple explained that they wanted to democratize investing and to do so through accountable corporations.
“From the world I come from, you don’t talk about investing, right?” Meghan told the Times in a joint interview with Harry. “You don’t have the luxury to invest. That sounds so fancy.”
“My husband has been saying for years, ‘Gosh, don’t you wish there was a place where if your values were aligned like this, you could put your money to that same sort of thing?'”
Since moving to California and stepping back from official royal duties, Harry and Meghan have signed profitable bargains with streaming giants Netflix and Spotify, amongst other tie-ups with publishers and motivational speaking.
Prince Harry also accepted a position as “chief impact officer” at San Francisco-based life-coaching startup BetterUp in March and is due to publish his memoir in 2022.
