Vanguard launches Many Happy Returns™ toolkit for climate-conscious investors

VALLEY FORGE, PA (March 13, 2024)—Vanguard presents the Many Happy Returns™ Climate Adaptation Toolkit, an emotional support program designed to reduce the impacts of climate stress on investors’ well-being. The Many Happy Returns™ Climate Adaptation Toolkit is offered to all Vanguard customers and employees, and includes a wide range of interactive support modules:

  • The Personal Sustainability Hotline (1-800-771-4401) is staffed by mental health coaches to help investors make rational decisions and feel good.
  • Infoguardian AI is a smart-filter strategically tailoring news and information to each investor’s personal portfolio.
  • Vanguardians Social is a mutual-aid platform helping investors build solidarity and resolve through a peer-support network.
  • Dissonex™ is a performance-enhancing supplement from Hims & Hers Health, fully subsidized for one year for eligible Vanguard investors and employees.
  • TerraDome™ is a literally ground-breaking sensory experience simulating a healthy temperate ecosystem—around your head. This personal portal to a perfect world helps investors decompress and clear the air.

The Many Happy Returns™ Climate Adaptation Toolkit is the world’s first full-circle support system tackling the psychological impacts of climate volatility on investors, helping them to adapt while building resilience and guarding against feelings of uncertainty that threaten financial health.

Tim Buckley, who will retire from his role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer by year-end 2024, introduced the program as his legacy innovation. “Throughout my tenure as CEO, I have heard the demand for Vanguard to change course on climate. I’m proud to respond with a stunning product that will enable our investor-owners to resolve their climate concerns without rocking the boat. These tools will help us seize market opportunities across all energy sectors well into the future, without bearing the psychological downsides.”
