At this time of harmful rhetoric and global tension, the founders of Abacus wish to affirm our values of inclusion, tolerance, kindness, listening, interdependence, solution-focused communication, caring for the most vulnerable people and ecosystems, and an awareness that our differences make us a stronger society.
These values are reflected in our investment and financial strategies. Our portfolios benefit from the success of thousands of companies around the globe led by people of all races, all religions, varying values, and sexual orientations. This diversification has been shown to buttress returns.[1]
The most effective corporate boards and non-profits are comprised of diverse members. In fact, the most diverse boards run the most profitable companies.[2][3]
Abacus is committed to upholding the values that make everyone feel welcome and valued.
