OUR GUEST in S1E3: Garvin Jabusch @Garvin1313, CIO and Co-Founder of Green Alpha Advisors.
Our investor guest in S1E3 is Garvin Jabusch, Chief Investment Officer at Green Alpha Advisors who started his work in 1995. In 2021 his decades of work as an ESG+ investment manager has progressed, and he comes off having a triple digit annual investment return, 113.9% in 2020. But being a popular investment manager is a mixed blessing. I tried pitching Garvin on investing in my instant idea: “Growth & Income Gravel Bikes” and he was a good sport and broke it down using his investment philosophy and process.
I think we first met at an ESG investment industry conference around 2004, where Garvin was promoting his Sierra Club Mutual Fund strategy he ran for Forwsrd Funds I kept the cap because it’s khaki so excellent when you’re on safari in Southern Africa, and as a keepsake because I referenced the Sierra Club strategies in my first ever academic paper, which I was generously invited to contribute to by Professors Terrence Guay (Penn State) and Jonathan Doh (Villanova University), see below. One of my favorite memories of this interview was the imagine of Garvin as a kid up a cherry tree in Utah, and his groan when I described his spicy answer to “are you fossil fuel free?!
