Hey Sanctuary Wealth: Dump your Playboy shares!

Investor violates own values with porn investment

Indianapolis-based Sanctuary Wealth (aka Sanctuary Advisors) is the latest investment firm in our sights propping up sexploitation. We recently spotted Sanctuary on Playboy’s shareholder list - sporting 28,000 shares in the global porn brand.

Founded by publisher of child exploitation material and alleged rapist Hugh Hefner, Playboy has a 70 year history of trading on the pornified and exploited bodies of women, and minors including preteen girls. Today, it flogs porn branded merch to children and teens, operates a subscription-based porn site, and exposes children to its larger than life bondage-porn themed sex shop ads in family shopping centres.

Sanctuary Wealth claims to care about ‘corporate integrity’ and ‘character’, ‘transparency’ and ‘trust’. We don’t see how propping up and profiting from Playboy - a company synonymous with harming women and children - aligns with these claims.

We are calling on Sanctuary Wealth to divest immediately from Playboy and commit to not investing in sexploitation again.
