Trying to Make a Difference With Markets While I Can

Because once the climate shocks start, then all investment businesses will quickly be worth zero as the markets evaporate and economies move to command and control as the food systems increasingly collapse.

Founder & CEO

Gregory C. Beier

  • Based in Greater Boston, my mission is to price sustainability in real time via full market disclosure because while studying Tibetan Buddhism for several years in the Himalayas in the 2000s, I saw extraordinary shocks to people’s lives from climate change firsthand.

  • Having worked in finance around the world in hedge funds, research, and venture capital, as well as creating a program to preserve Tibetan literature at a nonprofit with solid Harvard links, I offer a polymath’s fresh ideas on intractable problems that can be quickly scaled up at a negligible cost.

  • At Sustainability Arbitrage LLC which I founded in 2020, I invented Full Market Disclosure to solve the sustainability data problem and researched related investment strategies.

  • At Bodhi Vajra Inc., I conducted strategic advisory engagements in the US and Europe focused on research, international development, and sustainability from 2016 to 2020.

  • At the Tibetan Buddhist Resource Center, a nonprofit with solid Harvard links, I single-handedly created a groundbreaking USAID program that digitized millions of pages of texts in Tibet. The Sunday New York Times covered it here with video  and Harvard Magazine here. Good overview video here.

  • Before TBRC, I spent a decade consulting to European and Asian institutional investors and was the portfolio manager of the Shangri-La Global Fund, a macro hedge fund.

  •  In 2000, I joined Perinvest in London specializing in alternative investments. Prior to Perinvest, I was at the Milken Institute in Santa Monica, California where I co-authored studies on the Asian Financial Crisis that were published by the Institute and Forbes. Previously, I was a Principal at Hanmi Capital, a Korean venture capital firm and started at Shearson Lehman in 1989 in New York.

    • I published a chapter on "Understanding the Difference Between Hedging and Speculating" about which Professor Alfred Chandler of the Harvard Business School wrote, "Your piece should be required reading for all investors dealing with derivatives."

    • My relative, Jerry Palmieri,  who ran the Franklin Growth Fund for five decades and was the first recipient of the Morningstar Fund Manager of the Year back in 1987, mentored me on investing at terrifying monthly lunches and phone calls in between.

    • I am a big fan of the BBC World Service, tennis, and sailing as well as a third-rate connoisseur of green tea.
