Transforming the Allocation of Capital
By The Solari Report | July 30, 2025
Plunder capitalism—or what some have called disaster capitalism—is warfare by economic means. This type of warfare can be waged on a country, municipality, company, individual or asset, such as real estate or a pension fund. Plunder is not only conducive to the misallocation of financial resources, but can also be destructive to life itself.
In order for society as a whole to push back, it is up to each and every one of us to contribute to building and supporting a financial system that rewards productivity and wealth-building (as opposed to parasitic extraction and oligarchy). The way we allocate capital in our own lives is an opportunity to do so. It is a vote with your wallet.
At Solari, because we grew tired of dealing with corruption and fraud, we built an investment screen for use by asset managers. The screen is designed to address investor concerns about the sources of income of the corporations in whose equity they invest - by considering from whom and from what they profit. This is driven by the demand of asset managers who serve investors that want their savings reinvested in activities they consider sound and that contribute to a free and inspired life for the children they love. We do our best to screen for stocks in companies that loyally and productively serve both their customers and shareholders.
Why Use An Investment Screen?
• To align investments with personal values and financial goals• To ensure we grow the pie productively
What we have learned in the process of building the screen is that there are many publicly traded equity investments available in companies that generate positive returns to both shareholders and society at large, without engaging in systematic plunder. We focus on governance and leadership. Well-governed enterprises naturally address appropriate decisions-making in regard to a wide number of legal, ethical and environmental considerations.
Solari Investment Screens is one of the actions we have taken to transform the allocation of capital. You can take action to do the same. Remember, what you devote your time and attention to and what you invest in grows. It matters where you bank, where you spend your money, and where you invest. It matters that you use cash to preserve your financial freedom. It matters what each one of us does with our money and assets to successfully build family wealth. Especially when we connect in our lives and in the marketplace with millions of people and companies who are doing the same.
Never say you are "only" one person. You are a mentor, a leader and an example to others - and what you do and what you finance counts.
