Our Purpose

We’re literally changing the face of investing

Less than 2% of the trillions of dollars in Wall Street asset management firms is managed by women or people of color. The white male investor class continues to extract capital from historically marginalized communities and the planet, widening income inequality. We know that diverse leadership leads to better community outcomes.

We’re making socially responsible investing live up to its promise

The field of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) continues to be dominated by investment managers with little connection or lived experience with communities that have historically faced the burdens of economic extraction. We provide investment options screened with a social justice lens.

We’re making it easier for organizations and workers to invest in their futures.

We strive to minimize costs and harness technology to make these solutions accessible.

Just Futures offers:

1) Asset management solutions that help organizations meet their operating reserves and investment goals

2) Retirement plans that help workers save for the future

3) Impact fund acceleration that moves integrated capital into the regenerative economy

We’re helping to build a regenerative economy

We recognize that our extractive economy has led to an extraordinary racial wealth gap, income inequality, and environmental destruction.

We are one player in an ecosystem of movement actors who are seeking to build an economy that is rooted in principles of cooperation, non-extraction, and accessibility.
