Altruist launched its Model Marketplace in February 2021 featuring its own investment models – the Simplicity Series – alongside those of Vanguard and Dimensional Fund Advisors, later adding BlackRock, Redwood Investment Management and State Street Global Advisors.

Paul Herman, founder and CEO. “The HIP Fossil Fuel Free Portfolios are a diversified approach to invest in the health, wealth, earth, equality, and trust factors that benefit customers, citizens, nature, and society – while seeking to reduce future risk and benefit long-term financial returns.
