disinvesting
Pulling out funds
Disinvesting is withdrawing investment from something—selling off assets, reducing financial stakes, or pulling capital out of an enterprise.
The term often appears in political or ethical contexts: The university is disinvesting from fossil fuels.
It can also describe neglect through underfunding: decades of disinvesting in public infrastructure.
