Julie Cane, CEO of Democracy Investments, says that her company was formed last summer with the goal of incentivizing democracy. She explains that their “portfolio is reweighted towards securities in more democratic countries and underweighted in securities in authoritarian states,” so democratic countries get more of their capital and authoritarian states get less. So investors who want to be supporting ideas such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, free and fair election are funding that with Democracy Investments funds, as opposed to some of their larger competitors that are more passively investing into authoritarian states. She adds that their goal is to create a solution for the investors so that they can be more aware and know that they are supporting democracy.
