 Hey guys welcome back to my YouTube channel this is Daniel Rosal here. For this video I wanted to take a look on Reddit for any communities I could find that are touching upon sustainability related themes as they pertain to financial markets and investments as this is a field that I am professionally interested in. Some folks think that Reddit is not really a place for professional conversation or financial conversation and they think the Wall Street's best fiasco kind of proved those people wrong. Reddit is a really terrific place in my opinion for gathering niche communities and that's why I bundle up these custom subreddits. This one's on my Reddit profile it's called Sustainable Finance I will put a link in the video and for those who don't know a custom feed on Reddit it's just a collection of subreddits so I'll put this link in it's public it's on my profile which is Daniel Rosal just as my name is spelled altogether. So I found five relevant subreddits I thought I would just quickly showcase or introduce to anyone interested in the space they're starting in starting from biggest to smallest and I'll just close down the tabs I have open to the right for this. Biggest one is Green Investor then we have Sustainable Finance there's also Impact Investment SRI and UK Ethical Investing so let me show you what kind of communities one can expect to find in these subreddits. So the first one the biggest one as I said is called Green Investor that's the subreddit and it's four I'm just going to read what's on the screen here invest in the future you believe in we discuss stocks in renewable energy electric vehicles plant-based meat and any other industry that's making the world better so I like that description and this is an open subreddit so you don't need to request to post in it in terms of activity it's not massively active unfortunately but it is somewhat active there's definitely a focus here on sharing news related to developments for positive finance and stuff like that and you can see there is a wiki as well which is useful for avoiding repetitive questions so if you're just new to the world of green investing or sustainable investing or ESG or impact investing etc and those are not exactly all the same thing but this subreddit will might be useful resource for discussion less discussion oriented more news oriented I would say next one up is sustainable finance and the subreddit says its financial system that takes into account ESG considerations to ensure long-term sustainability of the human economy news events ideas research funding data and tools so at 6000 these are all still in the broad scheme of things relatively small subs just want to make make that clear or be honest about that nevertheless we'll find good conversation here and this is a place I just posted up on this subreddit asking folks for their podcast recommendations because one can never have enough good podcast in their podcast catcher so yeah this is a good subreddit and this one is a little bit more discussion oriented even though again the activity level is not huge there is one for impact investment it's called our impact investment there's a capital I in a capital I there just in case anyone didn't catch that this one you do have to request a post which means it's restricted subreddit it says a space for all those interested in impact investment social entrepreneurship socially responsible investing social impact bonds and other investing in finance techniques that promote double bottom line returns at its core impact investment strives to generate social investment gains coupled with profitable enterprise so that's a pretty good description and indeed those various instruments mentioned there are very much part of impact unfortunately this one is really kind of fallen out of activity the last post I could find was from two years ago so it's a pity that impact investment is derelict but you one could argue that with green investor and these other ones that's perhaps not so essential but I do hope that as you know interest continues to grow in ESG and as sustainable finance that these smaller subreddits might see a renewed lease of life perhaps SRI has 553 members only and it's a sub to discuss socially responsible investing the last post is three months ago and it's mostly the same user sharing news so I would kind of discount this as a very inactive or a relevant sub here's one niche one it's called UK ethical investing I don't think it's by coincidence something that I have noticed her since I started working in this field has struck me is that the UK stands head and shoulders above many other nations in terms of its adoption in fact it's kind of the birth cradle if you will of impact investing and socially responsible investing so this one's called UK ethical investing and it's UK specific per the title but this one they do have a decent amount of moderation there they have some flares going on in the sub and people discussing Elon Musk's various commentary etc etc so I know this hasn't been a you know it's not a huge selection in the big scheme of things or even in the reddit scheme of things but there are a few subs out there and if you are professionally interested in this field I hope this little overview I provided here has been helpful I will pop a link to my custom feed for sustainable finance into the description of this video hope that was useful and have a great rest of your day
