In the wake of the Florida High School mass shooting, some Americans are looking for ways to take the issue of gun control into their own hands, or wallets. Todd Scorzafava is a Lead Partner of Wealth Management at Eagle Rock Wealth and he joins Cheddar to explain how investors can manage their funds in a socially-minded manner.
Scorzafava explains that most passive investors most likely have gun-related stocks in their investment funds. Scorzafava says that if investors want to get out of those funds, they should work with their advisors and companies to find socially-minded funds or targeted ETFs.
Scorzafava explains that with ETFs investors can understand exactly what is in each of their portfolios. He is seeing an increase of millennial interest in that investing option.
Stocks dipped Friday morning after the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury crossed 5% for the first time in 16 years and also following Fed Chair Jerome Powell's remarks on Thursday.
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Thursday that inflation remains too high and that bringing it down to the Fed's target level will likely require a slower-growing economy and job market.
