Paul Robinson, founder of Alquity, has built successful businesses within the fund management sector and funded Global Ethics, operating under the One Brand, which has made total donations to charitable causes in excess of £10m, and transformed 2 million lives in Africa. Paul commented,

Our aim is to show that business, and individuals, can be a powerful force for good. It really is time to challenge the traditional asset management ethos of ‘profit at any cost’. Alquity’s model is proving popular with investors who want to their money invested responsibly. We think crowdfunding which is itself an innovative and alternative source of funding, fits exactly with our mission and values, to challenge and change things for the better.
