What Equities News does

Equities News Inc. (doing business as Equities.com) is a private impact-investing media company headquartered in Beverly Hills, California. The firm operates a content platform delivering news, analysis, and educational material across the megatrend categories of Economic, Environment, Governance, Healthcare, and Social, targeted at financial advisors, wealth managers, fund managers, and individual investors interested in ESG and values-aligned investing. Core products include the Equities.com news site, the Impact Fund Finder questionnaire-based fund discovery tool, and The Sustainable Finance Podcast hosted by Paul Ellis; supplementary channels include a Mailchimp-integrated newsletter, RSS feeds, and a video series (TheIMPACT) filmed at NYSE with Fintech TV.

The business model is a hybrid of advertising and subscription mechanics. The firm acts as an advertiser or publisher to companies reviewed on its website and may be remunerated through sponsored company profiles and sponsored articles, while newsletter and content distribution is structured as a recurring subscription via email signup forms. Pricing tiers are not publicly disclosed, and content access appears largely free, with revenue concentrated in advertiser and partner relationships rather than consumer subscriptions. The platform's competitive positioning rests on the curated constellation of sustainable-investment partners it features (Parnassus, Domini, Green Century, Impax, Trillium, Gitterman Asset Management) and on its columnists including CEO Paula DeLaurentis, Editor in Chief Steve Kerch, and contributors such as Adam Sarhan.

Underlying technology is a web-based content management and distribution platform with embedded TradingView market data widgets and Mailchimp integration for newsletter and SMS opt-ins. No public API, proprietary AI models, patents, or data flywheels are disclosed in source materials. The firm is privately held with no institutional or venture backing identified, employs 1–10 people, and is operated by CEO Paula DeLaurentis (with prior experience at Goldman Sachs, TD AmeriTrade, SRI Conference, and Portfolia), VP of Marketing Natasha Gibson (joined July 2024), and Editor in Chief Steve Kerch (formerly of MarketWatch). Governance agreements specify Nevada as the governing jurisdiction, and ownership rests with Equities News Inc. as the controlling holding entity.
