Wayne Wachell of Genus Capital is part of this year's Wealth Professional Canada's Host List.
Genus Capital
As ESG becomes a guiding principle across the investment spectrum, Genus Capital and its founder, Wayne Wachell, can safely claim to have been at the forefront of this paradigm shift. A major part of Genus’ business is devoted to its fossil-fuel-free funds. In 2013 the firm created Genus Fossil Free, a division that now accounts for more than $225 million worth of assets across a suite of six mutual funds. Wachell was an early convert to the value of responsible investing, and now it seems the rest of the industry is following suit.
