THE GRANDEUR OF ESGs
ESGs are where retail investment and institutional capital are going, both in the U.S. and Canada. People are putting money where their mouths are: ESG investing will reach $1 trillion by 2030, according to some experts.
MASSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE POTENTIAL
U.S. and Canadian investors are intrigued by the green boom because of its net positive impact on infrastructure, which has the potential to create millions of jobs and stimulate economies. There are many ESG small-cap companies that contribute to, or catalyze, the future of green infrastructure.
LITHIUM: THE NEXT BIG COMMODITY?
The success of ESGs, specifically for the electrification of movement, comes down to the availability of precious metals. It takes an extreme amount of capital, and many product iterations, to harness the raw materials involved in the production of microchips, semiconductors, and batteries. Success, in this case, becomes a numbers game; retail investors should be looking at multiple companies doing the same thing. Eventually, one (or two…or ten!) will either achieve profitability or get acquired by larger-cap companies.
