Ethics, Activism, & Impact: From Broken Hill To Un-Breaking Money.

In this interview, Adam Verwey, the former founder of Future Super, discusses his background, experiences, and new venture, SIX - which seeks to give ordinary investors the same influence as wealthy individuals. Adam started in the finance industry at Australian Ethical, known for its ethical investment policies. He later founded Future Super, which now manages over $15 billion for 100,000 Australians. In this episode Adam reflects on his upbringing in Broken Hill, an isolated mining town, and how it influenced his views on fairness and ethics in finance. He also discusses the challenges of maintaining the core ethical values of Future Super while raising investment. Verwey is now launching SIX, a platform aimed at democratizing investment opportunities and enabling shareholder activism to drive change at Australia’s largest companies. Adam says Billionaires shouldn’t exist, that many companies extract from the world, and that change is needed if we’re to secure a sustainable economic and environmental future for our society.
