Inside Interactive Brokers' embrace of ESG-friendly investing

Welcome to the Tearsheet Podcast. I’m Zack Miller, Tearsheet’s editor in chief.

On today’s podcast, I’m joined by Will Peterffy and Eddy Soffer of Interactive Brokers.

Will, son of Interactive Brokers’ founder, is a new board member of the online brokerage and its ESG Ambassador. Interactive Brokers recently rolled out a portfolio scorecard that grades equity portfolios along several dimensions, like reducing emissions and human rights.

The pair join us on the podcast to discuss the new initiative and what customers are asking for when it comes to investing responsibly. We also talk about where this environmental, social, and governance initiative is headed from a product perspective and across the industry.
