Aligning Investments With Your Values
Values-based investing allows small business owners to align their financial strategies with their mission, creating meaningful impact while enhancing trust among employees, customers, and the community.
By reflecting their values in investments, businesses can reinforce authenticity, strengthen internal culture, and attract like-minded stakeholders.
Defining and prioritizing one’s company values is the first step. In our work with clients at Moneco, we help guide small business leaders through these decisions, balancing financial goals with impact and authenticity. In this process, we believe that choiceful, values-based decisions in planning and investing foster loyalty, growth, and a positive legacy.
Best Places To Work
Moneco is proud to announce that we have been ranked #21 in Financial Planning’s “Top 52 RIAs to Work For” in the United States. With over 15,000 RIAs nationwide, we are deeply honored by this recognition.
We believe that being a “best place to work” lays the foundation for building trusted relationships and delivering financial plans that help our clients to pursue their goals. This award reflects our commitment to fostering a motivated and happy team—because we know that a fulfilled team is the key to providing the best possible service to those we are privileged to serve.
The Jobs Report
The US Job Report indicates that we added 227,000 jobs in November and the unemployment rate ticked higher to 4.2%.
Both numbers were higher than the consensus estimates compiled by Bloomberg, which were 220,000 and 4.1%, respectively. Average hourly earnings also rose more than expected, up 0.4% from the prior month compared to the 0.3% estimate. From the prior year, earnings rose 4.0% versus a 3.9% estimate.
