Sound Investments for a prosperous planet

Joel Koerner

Climate change and economic inequality are not insurmountable problems. I work with people who are interested in using their resources to challenge and change the systems which have created so much harm.

I am a financial advisor with the NI Louisville-based team at Just Money Advisors. I became part of Natural Investments because I saw how my career could be an extension of my passion for social, economic, and environmental justice.

Growing up in eastern Iowa, my passion for social justice was nurtured by family members, teachers and other mentors. After receiving a BA in history from Bluffton University, I spent a year working for the Independent Jamaican Council for Human Rights in Kingston, Jamaica. I then attended Drake University Law School and earned a JD in 2011. I was interested in somehow using my law degree to advocate for a better world, and am glad that my career path instead led me to Just Money Advisors and Natural Investments. I joined the team in 2015 and received my Series 65 licensure in 2017.

As climate-change becomes an ever-larger threat to our planet with each passing day, I recognize the interconnection of climate justice, social justice and economic justice. I work with clients to both divest out of fossil fuels and affirmatively invest in renewable energy. We also focus on community development initiatives such as investing in affordable housing and microlending. Finally, we work with alternative investments that promote new business models that challenge the status quo of “winner takes all” capitalism.

Outside of work I enjoy running, reading and spending time with my family. My spouse Maria and I are partners in life, parenting, and business.

Whether managing your retirement funds, planning for the future, saving for higher education or otherwise investing your money, I look forward to helping you achieve your financial goals while simultaneously working to make the world a more just and equitable place.
