Update: Coin Invest by John Hancock is no longer available. The product was discontinued. May 28, 2021
Coin Invest is service by John Hancock offering investors a platform for value-based and social impact investing opportunities.
The platform helps you identify the three Impact Areas that matter most to them and can start investing with as little as $50.
Customers own direct shares of the companies in their portfolio, which are chosen by scoring and ranking a company’s contribution to a specific Impact Area through a proprietary methodology aligned to the SDGs.
