Mission
The Problem: The wealth gap has become one of the defining issues of our generation. The bottom 50% of households by wealth hold less than 4% of total household wealth. While the top 10% of households hold over two-thirds of the US wealth. There are many factors influencing these disparities, including the concentration of corporate stock ownership.
Fund Objectives
