[edit] Investments
RIG has never published it's investment portfolio. Industry speculation has stated that it could be due to fear of competitor buying, or selling.
[edit] Environmental Activism
As well as having a noted interest in world charities, RIG set up 'Call for CHANGE' - an independent environmental awareness group, which also asks participants to sign a petition calling for an end to climate change. The group was set up by founder Andrew Roberts' son, Stefan Roberts, who joined RIG in 2005 as a Vice-President.
