I’ve saved up some amount of cash, but family is poor and hasn’t had useful advice. I feel like the stock market hasn’t been great for society, but surely there are some causes who would use the capital for good (and give it back when I need it later)? I have a half remembered portfolio from a previous union with a big war chest, but it doesn’t feel actionable.
I’m in North America + UK; but answers globally I think are interesting.
Dunno about America, but there is a local coop group near me that builds solar farms and let’s members invest. You get a bit of the profits and you’ve helped fund a good thing. The returns aren’t guaranteed, but then again nothing is.
