The Daily Signal - Strive Offers Investors Alternative to ESG-Driven Companies

In the investment and financial services industry, companies like BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard are dominate players. But they’re also increasingly beholden to stakeholder activism. That’s resulted in a greater focus on leftist ideas like DEI—diversity, equity, and inclusion—and ESG—environmental, social, and corporate governance.


Strive takes a different approach. It’s focused on maximizing value for investors—and it’s having great success. Today, Strive has over $1 billion in assets—just two years after its founding.


On today's episode of "The Daily Signal Podcast," Strive's CEO and chief investment officer explains the company's mission and why it's thriving. Listen to the interview with Matt Cole or read a lightly edited transcript at DailySignal.com.

Crystal Harris was only 21 when she entered the Playboy mansion for the first time. Within a few days, the college student moved in.

Consider This from NPR - What Would The Economy Look Like If Donald Trump Gets A Second Term?

During his time in office, former president Donald Trump talked a great deal about all of the positive changes he was making to improve the economy.

When he gave his final State of the Union address in February 2020, employers had added more than six million jobs, unemployment was at three-and-a-half percent and the stock market was soaring.

But by March all of that ended as coronavirus spread rapidly across the globe.

Donald Trump is poised to capture the Republican presidential nomination. As president, some of his economic policies came out of the traditional Republican playbook. But other policies were more populist, more nativist and more unpredictable.

NPR's Scott Detrow speaks with Chief Economics Correspondent Scott Horsley about what might change, and what might stay the same, under a second Trump administration.
