How Millennials and Gen Z Can Invest in a Better Future | Miguel Goncalves | TED

Millennials and Gen Z will inherit 30 trillion dollars of wealth in the coming decades, and what they do with their money will have an incredible impact on the future of the planet, says impact investor Miguel Goncalves. He makes a case for ESG investing -- or putting money in funds that weigh environmental and social factors -- and proposes a societal shift towards a more sustainable and equitable future, led by a forward-thinking next generation.

Rich ppl telling the masses they need to be rich..
Thats rich

Beware of people who make lots of "promises" and "expectations" without evidence or a history of results.

Here's a suggestion. In the U.S. they should vote in greater numbers than the pathetic 27% turnout they put up during the recent midterms. There is much, much more than just boosting your individual wealth which makes your world better for you AND your fellow citizens.

I just want to let anyone who's reading this, and going through a tough time know that it's going to be okay. You'll get through it! 🙏

The answer is clear - working class organising for socialism

The rich stays rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping, then the poor stays poor by spending like the rich and not investing like the rich💯💯

Before you worry about how you invest, consider how you BUY (you are a signal to the markets) and BEHAVE (you are a signal to the markets). If you drive a gas car, that's a bigger message than investing in some EV company.

Excellent reflection, Congratulations, we know that there is still an important weight for people and companies to see the numbers of their purely economic benefits, we must look more to the future and the consequences that our investments will have today. And I totally agree with the position that you should take from your person, if you are not the one who is going to invest your money, at least ask those people or companies that are going to do it where and with what expectation they are going to invest your money. Greetings

I’m sorry, but did anyone learn anything?

To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edged as an investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I’ve been quite ensured about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it’s the best time to get started on the market, what are your thoughts?!

When we reach retirement age, the planet will be dead.

Hi, I am the grain of salt you’re supposed to take this with

ESG is environmental investing.

Take a look around — there’s cars that run on gas
and EVs that are charged by a coal powered grid. When I look around everything is still fueled by coal and gas..


I also still see no solution to the mass mining of materials in safe conditions or disposal of solar panels, wind mill arms or electric vehicle batteries.

From a different speaker this would actually be interesting. He's way too monotone.

[marianasalgado]

how it can be used to build the world's future? i can't even expect to have a future of my own.
this message is trying to be hopeful but it's just privileged and cringy
i wish i could afford to have better expectations

[zacharyscottbruce]

How does this apply to millennials and Gen Z that are not inheriting their wealthy families money? This video should be retitled 😂

[darrell]

Key word investors. If he is talking about the stock market, it is a ponzy scam, so no, just NO!

[giovannip]

Nope, investors just get the fees and put the money where they can virtue signal best...

[tobydstreet]

This is where TED talks are now? 😳🤦🏼‍♂️

[thatomofolo]

Fix the money thing let's go 🚀🚀🥳🆒👌

[homewall]

Invest like others and hope you get in before them and out before them. Funny his take on Venezuela was just inflation, and not tyrannical socialism.
