how will billionair help you?
Billionair will equip financial advisers with the information they need to engage with their clients as climate change, impacts investing and environmental, social and governance factors become of increasing importance and regulations change, meaning that advisers will have to be knowledgeable and kept informed and educated on these changes.
Yet even without new rules, we see financial advisers as a crucial focal point for discussing and driving more sustainable investing. Every city, every town and village has its professional financial advisers operating within their respective communities.
Fundamental to the advice process is becoming a leader in the community, caring for it and earning its respect.
