On June 18, 2009, GVConsulting ventured into the realm of socially responsible investing, putting together a comprehensive plan to maximize profits while doing positive things for the planet. Through rigorous (and proprietary) mathematical analysis, as well as utilization of input from potential and actual investors, we believe we have created the most proactive investment strategy in the world to date.
For a snapshot, here are our June 18,2009, opening results:
$100 000.00
Further, here are our results as the end of the official Q4:
$179 262.37
In just over 6 months, our Q2 results bear 79% profit- all in green, socially responsible investments. These results take into consideration donations to nonprofits selected by long term investors.
Congratulations to all who have benefited to this point. We look forward to bigger things to come in the new year. Keep an eye out for an end of year report, as well as prospects for the new decade.
Take care,
Gregory

2010: 5 Things You Can Resolve To Do Today
by gvickrey on Jan.02, 2010, under Business/Finance, Civil Justice, Environment, Politics
Enjoy our initial list of activities that will drive change in an ever increasing difficult environment to bring about justice and peace and prosperity for all. We will be adding references for these selections soon. Spread the word, friends; 2010 is upon us and time slows for no man or woman.
New year, stronger fronts. Here we begin a list of things to do in 2010 to bring monumental change to the systems that are holding down “we, the people”. Add your ideas. We will compile the one’s slated to have the most impact, and act accordingly. I, and others, can also add resources as we go along.
1. Refuse to pay your income taxes this – and every – year, until systemic change is realized.
2. Remove your money from the big banks that meddle in everything from investment scams to insurance fraud, and re-invest those dollars in community credit unions (nonprofits).
3. Compile a list of nonprofits you have donated to recently. Send that list to us at NAR. Here, we will analyze it, and send you notice back about where your money really goes.
4. If you invest, or consider investing in the new year, speak with Gregory Vickrey.
5. Resolve never to donate to the Nature Conservancy again.
More to come.
GVC Secures Major SRI Deal
by gvickrey on Oct.16, 2009, under Business/Finance, Civil Justice, Environment, Fund Raising
This afternoon, GVC negotiated and closed its first major financial arrangement with a large investor. The deal guarantees an initial nonprofit investment of 15%, with an additional 15% of profits generated going to nonprofits on a quarterly basis. The deal will utilize 75% as venture capital for socially responsible companies, further enabling commercial interests that put communities and global well-being first.
More details to come soon!
Socially Responsible Investing
by gvickrey on Oct.09, 2009, under Business/Finance, Environment, Fund Raising
One of the more intriguing programs we are creating here at GVC lies within the realm of Socially Responsible Investing, or SRI. The SRI effort was pioneered years ago by colleague Peter Camejo and his company Progressive Asset Management. The tradition continues today as more and more investors become cognizant of the impacts they have simply by moving their moneys around from corporation to corporation.
Some companies abuse the good will and precedent setting of the reputable entities; funds like Green Century purport to be “green” while still sticking your moneys into corporations like General Electric and Exxon – even so, they lose your money on a consistent basis. Take a look at their performance records over the last 10 years and see for yourself.
In short, “greenwashing” in the investment arena should not be any more palatable – especially when generating a consistent loss – than in any other corporate arena.
So we at GVC have constructed a new paradigm, based on strong investment potential, highly transparent screening processes, sound mathematical modeling for potential returns, and peace of mind for the green investor.
In the very near future we will have a dedicated site for this service; in the meantime, feel free to drop a comment to this post or contact us via email or phone for our most up-to-date prospectus, questionnaires, and the like.
This is yet another way GVC, businesses, individual investors, and nonprofits can work together to make the world a better, more balanced environment for all shareholders. And when it comes to mother earth, that is exactly what we are – stakeholders in the greatest asset available to us, our living planet.
