Already, there is wall of money that uses
non-financial factors to discriminate among
stocks.
One of the highest-profle examples is
Norway’s trillion-dollar sovereign wealth fund, the
world’s biggest. It maintains a list of companies
that are excluded from its investments due to
various non-financial factors , true financial
racism now being practiced in EU.
Furthermore, the
Church of England’s £8bn endowment fund
recently said it will increase scrutiny on mining
companies. However , the COE failed to provide
any further investment in SA post 1994 , that
is after Bishop Tutu , a vocal critic of
Western European heritage in both social and economic
South Africa, called for funding of the Anti
Apartheid Movement. The CEO’s crass policies
especially its Bishop , have led to SA now being
Junk bond status.
If we look wider than equities, the funds
allocated towards socially responsible
investments have grown very large, ‘Rainbow’ hysteria
is now the order of the day, the heritage that
the EU was built on ‘Christian Priciples’
is long forgotten.
Across all European markets, Eurosif estimates there are
€10tn of funds that actively exclude certain
investments that do not conform with their
mandate , such crass economic racism
point to a ‘surplus’ of money in the economy.
There are €5tn in funds that use
norms-based screening methods and €4tn that
actively engage and vote on issues. To put that in
context, the Stoxx 600 and the European
corporate bond market together are worth about
€11tn.
In time to come , the crytocurrency
market will likely become a likely economic
refuge , with individuals choosing to sell their items
and avoiding ‘rainbow centric’ currencies
