As a Company, We Want to Do Better

Over the last few weeks, I’ve been trying to make sense of what’s happening in our country.  When I see a problem my brain typically tries to find a logical solution.  In this case, I can’t.  I can’t make sense of what has happened.  And I definitely don’t have a solution to our country’s system of unequal justice.    


I’m far from perfect, but I am going to try to do better.  As I always say "your money can be a tool to achieve the things that YOU want."  At Merino Wealth we plan to do just that: 

  • In the coming months, our firm will be making donations to organizations that focus on creating a more just and equitable world.  This is one small thing we can do to drive change.

  • I also commit to devoting additional company resources to further our education on racial inequities so we can become a more inclusive company.  We know that racism has impacted Black wealth for centuries. We want to do as much as we can as a company to end this cycle.    

  • We will also work to use Black-owned businesses as vendors to support our day to day operations.  Our corporate spending is a privilege that we have and we intend to vote with these dollars.

  • We will further our efforts towards utilizing socially responsible investments with a focus on diversity and inclusion.  This will allow all of our clients to use their money as a tool to promote change.

As a company, we want to do better.  We know that this is a difficult time for our city and throughout the entire country.  We welcome your suggestions if you have any. As a community, we are hurting and we are here to help.
