Green Investing for 2020 and Beyond
How to invest so it's good for you plus good for the planet! Green Drinks welcomes Tom Nowak, CFP from Quantum Financial Planning LLC. Join us at 7pm on Wednesday, November 20, upstairs at McGonigal's, 150 S. Cook St., Barrington.
Align your investments with your values and avoid investing in companies that are likely to do poorly in a world moving towards sustainability. Mr. Nowak has been providing financial advice since 2005. His first career as an analytical chemist has influenced his perspective on sustainability and he supports the use of a low cost approach to sustainable investing. His two books, Low Fee Socially Responsible Investing and Low Fee Vegan Investing are intended as a resource to fee-sensitive investors.
