The Jewish Sovereign Wealth Fund Pledge
My Capital. Our Voice. Our Future.
I believe that racism and discrimination must be judged according to one consistent standard—including when directed against Jews or the State of Israel, in which case it should be judged based on the IHRA criteria for antisemitism recognized by 27 out of the 27 European Union countries and most of the states in the United States.
I recognize that no individual, family, company, or institution can confront the global rise of antisemitism alone.
I therefore pledge to join and thread into the Jewish Sovereign Wealth Fund platform together with other Jewish families and friends of the Jewish people in strengthening a unified, responsible, and influential global economic platform to withstand the wave of anti-Jewish double standards running rampant in many parts of the world.
By taking this pledge:
- 01
I express my intention to tether eligible existing investment accounts to the Jewish Sovereign Wealth Fund platform as part of a collective shareholder effort to stand up to antisemitism.
- 02
I retain full ownership and control of my investment accounts and assets.
- 03
I support investment standards designed to avoid my accounts being invested in public companies and sovereign bonds associated with antisemitism or discriminatory double standards, based upon transparent criteria informed by the IHRA Working Definition of Antisemitism.
- 04
I support the lawful coordination of shareholder engagement and voting initiatives that defend equal treatment, meritocracy, Jewish dignity, and the legitimacy of the State of Israel.
- 05
Without obligation in any way: While this wave of anti-Jewish sentiment is widely prevalent, I will very seriously consider “The 66% Contribution,” directing 66% of my annual philanthropic giving toward Jewish continuity, Israel, Jewish education, community security, the fight against antisemitism, innovation, and future Jewish generations.
- 06
I support using Jewish and Israeli innovation, capital, and expertise to alleviate suffering and build life-enhancing infrastructure for humanity where other platforms do not see high enough margins to engage.
- 07
I will stand proudly with others who believe that Jewish success and Jewish innovation should never be hidden, diminished, or subjected to a standard applied to no other people.
This is an ethical commitment, not a legal or binding agreement. I make this Pledge because a united and secure Jewish future matters to me, and I want to help build a world where the next generation of Jews stand loud and proud while continuing to spread the light of Jewish and Israeli innovation.
