About Us and Our Team

Cedargold is a global information research and consulting services firm. We focus on researching towards developing and maintaining our asset allocation model portfolio – The Cedar Portfolio – of great businesses from around the world helping society and the environment and, at the same time, targeting outperforming portfolio returns.

We take an approach that is aligned with the positive values of human nature, addressing the challenges of Sustainability and ESG with decentralized, economical solutions based on technology, innovation and a respect for property rights. We believe this approach is the best road to take towards meeting the noble 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), not taking an agenda-based approach of authoritarian processes and restrictive controls as the road attempting to meet the 17 UN SDGs.
