GUEST: Lesley-Anne Scorgie, founder of MeVest

For young people, investing can be daunting enough, but add the terms “ethical” or “sustainable” in front of it and it's enough to dissuade all but the most diligent first-time investors.

Fortunately, personal finance guru Lesley-Anne Scorgie has a few tips and tricks for new investors to build their portfolios while not compromising their values. As the founder of MeVest, a financial educational company providing money coaching for Canadians, Scorgie has accumulated a wealth of valuable information tailored for new investors.

In this episode of “Responsible Investing for a Sustainable Economy,” Scorgie recounts buying her first bond as a 10 year old with money she earned babysitting as well as navigating sketchy stock tips as a first-year university student, all while determining how to best keep her portfolio green.
