Saxo Bank CEO Kim Fournais invites investors to challenge money myths
Don’t stop showering – start investing, says Kim Fournais, CEO and Founder of Saxo Bank, as he invites the investing community to reconsider some traditional money concepts.
Saxo has launched a series of animated videos, with each of these works of art challenging some myths about money. Mr Fournais comments:
“By launching this series of animated movies, I hope we can inspire people to also take ownership of where their money goes and what impact they enable.
We want to show you how money can actually buy you happiness, how capitalism when based on win-win transactions can be a force of good”.
Saxo asks traders to think whether money is a tool for impact or the root of all evil.
No matter how it’s used, money does not make decisions, Mr Fournais explains, adding that people make decisions. As money has transformed the exchange of goods and services between all mankind, it is used for both good and evil.
While we cannot erase evil, we can pursue good. We can choose the impact we want to make. Are you ready to make that choice?
- Don’t stop showering – start investing
Impact is personal. You have the freedom and the obligation to choose the impact you want to make on the world. No matter your convictions, investing is far more powerful than almost anything else you can do as an individual. That is true power – and it’s there for you to use on what matters to you.
- Money can buy you happiness – if you invest them in something meaningful
Accumulating money will not make you happy. The ability to earn, invest and spend it in a meaningful way, however, will put you on the path towards happiness. Mr Fournais notes that it is not for Saxo or any other bank to define what is meaningful for you – but Saxo aims to help you get there.
- We need water. We need oxygen. We need win-win markets.
Not a day has gone by in the history of humanity where we did not need each other. Capitalism is not an ideology – it is a system, Mr Fournais says. And while it possesses the potential for humans creating win-win transactions among each other, then systems can be flawed.
Kim Fournais comments:
“We need to mend and transform the system, but we cannot do it alone. Whether we call it humanistic capitalism or win-win markets, what matters is that we start to use the strength of the system to make the best possible impact on the most important thing we have: each other”.
- Information overload: how algorithms and AI can enable you to make an impact
The information in the world doubles every 13 months – our brain power does not. We already leverage technology and innovation to help choose music, navigate traffic and much more. It is time to use the power of technology to make the impact and decisions that really matter. So what matters to you?
