In 2003 the Sudanese government armed Janjaweed began mass slaughtering and raping Darfuri men, women, and children in Western Sudan. This was known as the Darfur Genocide.
To take a stand against these atrocities, the Sudan Divestment Task Force led universities, endowments and other institutional investors to divest from companies supporting the regime.
Invested Interests worked with the Sudan Divestment Task Force to make their divestment list available through online tools and portfolios that helped individuals investors avoid the targeted corporations. Divesting in specific companies, like Schlumberger and PetroChina, has had a significant impact in the region. And while human rights in Sudan remains a pressing issue, progress has been made since 2008.
Brandon has previously managed successful investment funds and has been a trusted advisor to numerous family office clients. He has also pioneered investor access to the Sudan Darfur divestment campaign. Brandon’s experience and interests have brought him to realize that a product was missing from today’s market. Investors looking for socially responsible investments want to use technology but not be left alone in navigating their investment decisions.
