Pull quote (vi20)
Pull quotes are excerpts, key phrases or opinions that are pulled from an article/insight and used as graphic elements within a page layout to draw the reader in and to break up large blocks of text. Pull quotes can serve as visual signposts to help give the reader a sense of place and sequence.
Pull quotes should be kept brief to maintain visual balance on the page.
One key feature to note:
- In this component, you have the ability to turn component-level top, bottom or both padding options on or off
- Note: Use this is to solve “double” padding issues when stacking similar colored components together which may cause large gaps to appear
- See example here

Left aligned appearances
Our Left aligned appearance should only be used between 2 blocks of paragraph copy. It aligns perfectly with our paragraph component, and comes in 2 sizes, and neither option allows for a profile picture (to not visually disrupt the content too much):
Small: Use this option if you don’t want to visually interrupt the content too much. It’s more subtle than our “large” appearance, and does not take up as much space.
Large: Use this option if you need a more “impactful” visual appearance.
- Padding usage note: By default, the bottom padding is set to off. This is to maintain equal spacing between two paragraph blocks.
- This should remain off whenever this component sits in the middle of multiple paragraphs/sections.
- If it is the LAST component in your paragraph, (i.e. sits above a full-width component), then have the publisher uncheck the “hide bottom padding” option in the DCR.

As I’ve said before, my hope is that in the future, every investor – ultimately including individual investors – has access to voting choice, if they want it.

Capitalism has the power to shape society and act as a powerful catalyst for change.
