Harry and Meghan Get into Finance
NYT ^ | 10-12-21 | By Andrew Ross Sorkin, Jason Karaian, Sarah Kessler, Stephen Gandel, Lauren Hirsch, Ephrat Livni and

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, are getting into the investment business. They are joining Ethic, a fintech asset manager in the fast-growing environmental, social and governance space, as “impact partners” and investors. Ethic has $1.3 billion under management and creates separately managed accounts to invest in social responsibility themes.

The couple could attract more attention to sustainable investing. Harry and Meghan can make E.S.G. investing part of pop culture in a way that, say, BlackRock’s Larry Fink can’t. “From the world I come from, you don’t talk about investing, right?” Meghan told DealBook 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?’” Meghan said. They were introduced to Ethic by friends, she said.

Why plague us with posts involving a royal failure and black American activist who thinks she has passed and is white royalty.

Such posts are a travesty

Duchesses don’t invest? Or Meghan refers back to her ghetto roots where investing was a “ luxury” ?

The objectives of these money managers isn’t to make money for their clients. It’s to get their client’s money, and make as much of it theirs as they can do without creating suspicion.

So she has the “luxury” to buy a Rolex, but not to invest. OK.

Don’t think for a second that Blackrock, Vanguard, etc., aren’t handed free money by the feds to invest without them being overly WOKE.

They give all this free money to companies like Facebook, Google, etc. In a way, they inflate the stock prices of these woke companies by putting hundreds of billions of dollars into them.

Wait, wasn’t MeGain supposedly already a millionaire from her actress days? That has always been part of her PR tripe. And she didn’t invest any of her millions? They sat in a savings account earning 1% interest year after year?

The Douche and Douchess of Grift found another scam to promote. They are bound to end up in some kind of financial scandal or hot water a la Andrew and Fergie.

She was a D-level actress, surely people in entertainment, invest. Her best investment was marrying the dim-wit Price Harry.

From her brief acting career (7 years with the series)...at the peak, she was making $500k a year. Figure that the agent and IRS/California took their cuts. Toss in five B-rated movies. She might have accumulated around $200k a year on average for a decade.

She was never wealthy, in the true sense of the word.

Here’s a finance question that, as far as I know, hasn’t been asked and answered....

Is Harry here on a type of visa that allows the Harkles to get out of paying US income taxes...?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh, I don't think MM has ever tried to pass as white. Then she wouldn't be able to play the race card.

Pretty sure she means the latter to convince working people she's one of them.
