The billionaires who are leaving Earth might know something the rest of us don't.
At least, that's one conclusion that could be gleaned from Novus's Hedge Funds & ESG dashboard.

We're not saying that hedge fund managers might be squeezing every last dollar out of the planet and investing it in rocket ships to take them to more pristine one, but we understand how one might get that idea.
