It isn’t because people don’t care about the planet — it’s because financial capability in the UK is uniquely poor - most people barely understand saving, pensions, or investing, so concepts like sustainable portfolios, impact metrics and carbon footprints feel technical, abstract and inaccessible. 

Dan Russell has spent 20 years at the heart of the UK retail financial market, and is now on a mission to improve financial capability for the masses. Join this session to play the Funkled Escape Room, see how your financial capability fares, and explore how we can build a jargon free path that leads to better financial choices, alongside greater investment into sustainable initiatives.
