2023 End of Year Letter From Veris CIO Michael Lent
By Michael Lent, Co-founder and CIO of Veris Wealth Partners
This letter was originally published as part of Veris’ 2023 Impact Report.
I write this at a time of great turbulence in the world. We are seeing acts of violence and warfare, extreme partisanship and political turmoil, and a barrage of attacks on ESG investing and DEI practices.
It can sometimes be hard to feel hopeful in this period, but I still believe that progress is being made and that impact investors are making meaningful contributions towards solving social and environmental challenges.
