In dieser ESG-Talk-Folge spricht Stella Ureta Dombrowsky mit Christine Ter Bragg-Forstinger, CEO von G-Impact Capital, über die Bedeutung und die Zukunft von Impact Investing. Was unterscheidet wirkungsorientiertes Investieren von klassischem nachhaltigem Investieren? Wie wichtig ist die Intention hinter einer Investition? Und wie lassen sich Wirkung und Rendite sinnvoll miteinander verbinden? Christine bringt nicht nur umfassendes Fachwissen mit, sondern auch eine klare Haltung: Impact Investing bedeutet, Kapital gezielt dort einzusetzen, wo es echten, messbaren Unterschied macht – sozial, ökologisch und wirtschaftlich. Sie erklärt, warum echte Impact Investments vor allem im Private Market zu finden sind, welche Rolle ESG-Kriterien, Gender Lens Investing und technologische Innovationen wie Künstliche Intelligenz spielen – und wie wichtig Transparenz, Impact-KPIs und ein offener Dialog mit Unternehmensführungen sind.

In her book Adventure Finance, she writes to both investors and founders, helping them see how they interrelate.She has a crucial message for entrepreneurs, “There are funding options that do not require you to sell your soul, or to promise exponential growth, or to try and be something that you're not.”“You can be a community-owned organization and find funding,” she says. “You can be a small-scale–and continuing to be a small-scale organization. You can be very committed to your social purpose and not be willing to compromise that. It's about finding the right type of funding for you.”She notes that the trick is figuring out the right type of funding for your social enterprise.For investors, she says that good due diligence combined with portfolio construction can provide better than venture capital returns from investing in slow-growing, high-impact social enterprises.First, she notes that “most venture funds lose money.” It shouldn't be hard to beat that level of performance! (Of course, many VC funds do.)With careful diligence, investors can find social enterprises that can double or triple their money over reasonable periods, often using revenue-based financing rather than venture-style forms of equity. Building a portfolio of companies likely to repay debt can yield impressive results.Venture capitalists often invest with a gambler's eye for risk, hoping one or two investments in a portfolio skyrocket to the moon. This risky approach sometimes leaves portfolios with more holes than one winner can file. More careful analysis, paired with setting aside moonshot investments, allows investors to build portfolios of high-impact companies.Aunnie's superpower could be described as audacity, but she uses the term “crazy” to describe her willingness to confront conventional wisdom and chart a new path.AI Episode Summary* The podcast features Aunnie Patton Power, an author, Oxford professor, and expert on impact investing.* Aunnie's book, Adventure Finance, focuses on creating funding journeys that blend profit and purpose, exploring alternative funding options beyond traditional avenues.* The book addresses founders and funders interested in mission-driven funding and offers various options for them.* Aunnie highlights the importance of understanding oneself and the organization when embarking on a funding journey.* One key message from the book is that there are funding options beyond traditional routes, allowing organizations to align with their values and mission without compromising.* The conversation shifts to impact investing and the need for investors to create toolkits, including various funding options tailored to specific challenges like supporting female entrepreneurs.* Aunnie emphasizes the importance of impact-linked incentives in funds, urging investors to design strategies that align with their mission and goals.* The discussion delves into due diligence and portfolio construction, stressing the need for thoughtful scrutiny and diversification to achieve better-than-venture returns with lower risk.* Aunnie shares insights into her superpowers, including her ability to convene and facilitate discussions, as well as her fearlessness in pursuing innovative and radical ideas in the field of impact investing.* Aunnie discusses a recent accomplishment, challenging the impact investing industry to adopt impact-linked compensation, and shares ongoing research on the subject, aiming to change the conversation and make impact-linked compensation more prevalent in the field.How to Develop Audacity As a SuperpowerAunnie's audacity–forgive me for using my description over hers–is powerful. She shared a story to illustrate how she uses it:About a year ago, I was at the GIIN conference, the Global Impact Investing Network conference, and made, I would say, what I kind of thought was a bit of a controversial statement on the stage. I said that I didn't think that impact funds should be able to call themselves impact funds if they didn't have some sort of impact-linked incentives in there as a fund. It sparked some controversy. There were some great discussions on some of the different platforms and things like that. I got a lot of people saying, “Well then, how do we do it? How do we do impact linked carry? How do we do impact linked bonuses?” So, for the past ten months, I've done a piece of research work with a research team. We've done a survey of 200 GPs and LPs, and we're about to release the report. That is quite a substantial report on the considerations you need to consider and the framework to do impact-linked compensation.We had over 100 funds that do impact-linked compensation that we were able to engage with, which is more, I think, than anyone in the industry knew was possible. So, even though it's more mainstream than most of my work because it's dealing with traditional funds, I'm quite proud of the fact that now we have this data and this guide to impact-linked compensation.That guide to impact-linked compensation is excellent evidence of both Aunnie's audacity and her ability to back it up.Aunnie offered some tips for being more audacious:* Take courage!* Remember, you can shape the world.* Lean into what you think is right.* Start with small steps.* Push yourself to be more radical and push boundaries and perspectives.* Recognize what needs to be done and take responsibility for doing it.By following Aunnie's example and advice, you can make audacity an arrow in your quiver. With practice, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileAunnie Patton Power (she/her):I like to say that I am an Academic, Author, Advisor and Angel Investor. The ImPact and Oxford.Biographical Information: I specialize in creating innovative financial structures and strategies to create positive social and environmental impact. I teach innovative finance at the University of Oxford and the London School of Economics. I write and research on innovative finance. My first book, Adventure Finance, was published in 2021, and I'm currently writing my second. I also advise family offices, foundations and other funders globally around innovative financing.

We talk a lot about impact investing on this show, and while we tend to focus on the deals and the companies, we often gloss over the more challenging process of impact measurement and management. Right now is an important time to explore these issues, because the structures of impact investing are at an inflection point. The market has realised the importance of using consistent systems, and the frameworks are starting to consolidate, they're harmonising. Today we have Dean Hand on the show to help us explore impact measurement and management, she's Chief Impact Officer at the GIIN (the Global Impact Investment Network), and she's had long experience with impact reporting, both at the GIIN, which is a pivotal player in developing these impact measurement and management systems. In this episode Dean explains both the origins and the utility of the leading frameworks that the GIIN manages. But we also explore the broader alphabet soup of frameworks, standards and principles that are out there. And, on this important topic, I want to take the research further. So I'm going to take the insights from this episode with Dean, and from the next few episodes with other leading practitioners, and pull it all together into a special report. It'll have input from global leaders in the space, with case-studies highlighting leading practice in the market. It should be out soon, but if you don't want to miss it sign up for my newsletter, and you'll get it in your inbox as soon as it's released.

Startup Boards -- Impact Metrics Hello, this is Hall T. Martin with the Startup Funding Espresso -- your daily shot of startup funding and investing. In raising funding, you need to show your metrics.   Startups in the impact space should also show their impact metrics, as investors will look for your results there.  A common mistake by impact companies is to focus on the size of the market to be served and the needs in those markets.   Instead, you should measure the actual impact results of your business on the market you are serving and show those results. For example, how many students graduated, how many bottles of plastics were removed from the waste stream, how many students improved their test scores?  Focus on the primary impact which is on the customer, rather than the secondary impact which is on the employee of the business. There are several metric systems, including GIIN's IRIS+ metrics (), the IRIS Thematic Taxonomy (), and the Impact Management Project (). In short, no one system covers all impact sectors.   Check out the Sustainable Development Goals site () for the categories of impact metrics to see where your deal fits.  Thank you for joining us for the Startup Funding Espresso where we help startups and investors connect for funding.Let's go startup something today. ___________________________________ For more episodes from Investor Connect, please visit the site at:   Check out our other podcasts here:   For Investors check out:   For Startups check out:   For eGuides check out:   For upcoming Events, check out    For Feedback please contact info@tencapital.group    Please , share, and leave a review.

Participatory Funding Models Are Radical Manifestations of Empathy

Devin: What do you think of as your superpower?Ben: I think I had a really interesting experience coming out of college. I grew up in, you know, upper-middle-class suburbs in New York of New York City. Then after college, my first job I got by happenstance was as an intern for the National Office of the NAACP. I was often the only white person in the room, which is just not an experience that I think a lot of my peers have ever had. I don’t know how to translate that into a superpower, but I think a level of empathy, a level of humility, understanding that while I have some great ideas, they’re just ideas.Devin: Meg, what do you think of as your superpower?Meg: I’m going to also say empathy, but I have a different life experience than Ben. I mean it in a slightly different way. I see my superpower as having the ability to help people tell their stories.Ben Wrobel, director of communications at Village Capital, and Meg Massey, a freelance journalist, have partnered to author a seminal new work called Letting Go: How Philanthropists and Impact Investors Can Do More Good by Giving Up Control.Meg summarizes the book succinctly: “We talk about how funders can and should integrate the people that they’re hoping to serve and support with their funding into the decision-making process.”There are two distinct audiences for the book, philanthropists and impact investors. While many do both, the two activities are treated mainly as two separate disciplines. Ben notes that the authors struggled about whether to include both but did because “a lot of the general principles are the same.”Village Capital is known for its unusual funding model. Ben explains:The model we have is called peer-selected investment, and we bring together 12 entrepreneurs that are working in the same sector, but not direct competitors. Twelve African entrepreneurs working on fintech, for instance. We put them through a training investment readiness program. Everyone gets a benefit out of it. But at the end of the program, the group engages in this very open, transparent ranking process and ultimately selects two of their peers to receive funding from our fund. Village Capital was formed to address a related problem in the venture capital community. “The reason village capital was created by Ross Baird and others early, early on was because venture capital, they argued, was a very closed off hegemonic sphere where a few people in a few cities are making decisions about our collective future,” Ben says.He notes, however, that Village Capital’s approach is different from the model he and Meg document in the book. “The mechanics of it are more about asking social entrepreneurs to make decisions rather than, let’s say, people living in a specific community or people with disabilities like we’ve seen with some other participatory funding models.” Meg notes that this has been a blind spot for impact investors. “Impact Investing has largely been about what you’re investing in and not how you’re doing it, that process. And there’s a lot of top-down.”The nonprofit arena has a similar problem, Ben says. “Philanthropy is largely male, largely white, largely based in a few places. Any sort of funding model where the people making decisions aren’t necessarily representative of the world at large is where participatory funding can be helpful.”Participating can be difficult, Meg notes. “If you haven’t taken the economics class, if you haven’t worked at a bank or just had any professional experience in finance, something—‘cap size,’ ‘market share’—like these are normal terms for investors, but they can be really intimidating to people who aren’t part—who don’t live and breathe that work.”Meg and Ben connected at the GIIN conference for impact investors in Amsterdam. Together, they saw a problem. “There’s a panel on support in sub-Saharan Africa that’s like five white guys from Europe,” Meg says.The book set out a nine rung ladder investors and philanthropists can climb to move from traditional to fully participatory models. Ben summarizes the process as three key steps.“At the very bottom there, you have a process that’s not participatory; it’s you simply make a decision and then move on with your life,” Ben says.“Up in the middle of the ladder is what we call consulting,” Ben explains. “Sometimes at its worst, it’s maybe token listening where you’re saying, ‘Hey, we’re going to hold a community meeting. We’re going to invite folks to join a zoom and weigh in on our investment strategy.’ But ultimately, there are no teeth to that.”“The top rung is true participation, and really the distinction there goes beyond listening,” Ben says. “It means that there is a mechanism in place for community members, for people who have lived experience to have a vote. In its purest form, it’s going to be a decision about who you invest in.”Meg provided an example. Mama Cash is a grantmaking organization that transitioned to becoming fully participatory. “They found that their staff, rather than kind of being grant analysts and making all these decisions, were facilitating the process of having their current and former grantees review applications and vote. They were given this role, and they were also trained in how to do it.” The participatory approach is snowballing, Meg says. “Ben and I were interviewing different participatory grantmakers around the world. They started a Google Group, which then turned into a Slack community, which went from those dozen people, now over seven hundred members around the world.”Empathy is a superpower both Meg and Ben use to enable their work.Superpowers for Good is a reader-supported publication. To support my work, consider becoming a paid subscriber.How You Can Develop Empathy As a SuperpowerBen sees empathy as being a radical step for investors and grantmakers. I think participatory grant-making and participatory investing, whether it's on the institutional level or on the personal level, is it's a really radical action to take. I mean, we try not to frame it as radical because, at the end of the day, it is just grant-making. It's not rocket science. But the empathy part of it is radical.Doing participatory funding “is a radical act of empathy,” he adds.Ben sees a foundational problem in his peer group. A lot of young people have the idea of wanting to save the world. There's a problem out there. It can be solved. And if it can be solved, it can be solved by the power of your own intellect. Just like a homework assignment at a liberal arts college, right? It's the perfect attitude for a generation raised on the like the optimism of the “West Wing” and the clean logic of “Freakonomics.”Ben sees this as arrogance that can impede finding more effective solutions, something he now recognizes in himself. “I’ll suddenly just get really into [a solution to a problem] and push and say, ‘This is what we need to be doing. This is it. Let’s go for it.’ And I forget that five days before, I knew nothing about this topic and still only have a third-hand understanding of it.”Humility and empathy enable a more inclusive approach that puts decision-making closer to the beneficiaries.Meg uses her empathy superpower to help other people tell better stories. She offers some storytelling advice. “You always have a beginning, middle and end, which seems obvious. You’d be surprised at how many stories are missing one of those components.”Then she notes that building tension is a critical element of a story. “What keeps us reading thrillers or watching TV shows is they build up what’s going to happen.”“The best writers for television, they’ve mastered managing that tension,” she adds.Grantwriters face significant challenges today. One complained to Meg about the labor-intensive forms and seemingly irrelevant questions. “We don’t speak the same language.”“Storytelling is a universal language,” Meg says.If you work at implementing steps to activate your empathy, like Meg and Ben, you can make it a superpower that can influence every other skill you have, enabling you to have more significant impact.

Guest Bio: Audrey Selian currently serves as Director of the Artha Initiative associated with Rianta Capital Zurich and is a team member/advisor to the Halloran Philanthropies. She has been active in the impact investing sector since 2006, and is founder of ArthaPlatform.com, an online impact investment platform that is designed to tackle the economics of due diligence around high impact, small scale SMEs/SGBs.  She has also been a wanna-be techie since 1997. She completed her PhD in technology policy and development and has been thinking about how to intertwine the two ever since. She is passionate about bringing good people together, and proving that investment in good business(es) is one of the keys to best serving the under-served on this planet.  Audrey has a background in management consulting from PricewaterhouseCoopers, and her entrepreneurial experience includes several years spent in business development, marketing and sales at an NSF-funded software start-up called Wireless Grids Corporation.  Artha Impact The Artha Impact team has been working since 2007 as the impact investing arm of Rianta Capital, which is a dedicated advisory to the Singh Family Trust. Through this initiative, they have been running a series of programs designed to invest, catalyze and convene around the promise of supporting meaningful business interventions for impact in India. Today Artha Impact holds a robust portfolio of direct early/growth stage investments and a small handful of impact funds in the country.  Sectors of focus include - but have not been limited to - agriculture, healthcare and livelihoods. Key Points: There is an incredible network of like minded family offices Artha Network platform  help coordinate discovery and create more visibility. “The information about who's doing what and where should not be left to chance, because the opportunity costs are just too high in the event that things go wrong, and things don't happen the right way.” Partnership with Menterra, one of the oldest social enterprise incubator in India. Biosense - last mile health diagnostic service Collaborative learning and action is key to solving the last mile challenge Telecoms & Beer are succeeding in the last mile - the narrative must change to grease the wheels, otherwise we continue to propagate the same exact mentality that is contributing to hundreds of parallel silos. Something that gets people to see a carrot that changes the behaviour where we're all competing against each other to develop on SDG X. Impact Measurement - we encourage folks that we work with to pick 2 or 3 things that are really tangible and possible to measure Taxonomies - we are trying to keep it simple Partnerships play a crucial role in due diligence - We had 40% of investors reported in the GIIN survey, express willingness to utilize other investor's due diligence documentation, and that's a sea change.  Every player has a lot to contribute, technology is amplifying what each and every one of us can do. “Federation and King of the Hill strategies, domination strategies aren't going to work today.

Le sujet : Sur La Martingale, on a déjà parlé d'épargne responsable, d'investissement dans les énergies renouvelables ou les arbres. Vous-même avez certainement déjà entendu parler de finance verte, finance responsable, finance durable ou de finance à impact. Greenwashing ou véritables ambitions ? Pas toujours facile de se repérer et de savoir comment faire une bonne action sans faire l'impasse sur les performances économiques. Avec Vincent Piche, Matthieu Stefani, cofondateur de CosaVostra, cherche à comprendre comment détecter les bons dossiers dans lesquels placer son argent pour faire la différence. L'invité du jour : Vincent Piche est le cofondateur de Kimpa, l'un des premiers Family Offices à impact en France. Après avoir occupé des postes à responsabilité chez Cartier en Europe et en Amérique du Nord, l'entrepreneur accompagne désormais les familles entrepreneuriales qui veulent contribuer à un monde durable en déployant leurs capitaux vers des projets à impact positif pour la planète. # Un Family Office, c'est quoi ? On parle ici d'un organisme de conseil qui traite la fortune d'une ou plusieurs familles à la tête d'un patrimoine. Kimpa est un Multi-Family Office, et travaille de ce fait avec plusieurs clients, qui possèdent plus de 5 millions d'euros d'actifs investissables. # Il n'y a pas de Planète B : Kimpa est un des premiers Family Offices qui prennent en compte la dimension d'impact et la mettent au centre de leur stratégie. En choisissant parmi les 17 objectifs du développement durable des Nations Unies, ses clients investissent en priorité dans les domaines qui les animent (éducation, croissance économique, changements climatiques… ). # Comment faire la différence entre la finance responsable, la finance durable et la finance à impact ? Là où la finance responsable exclut des secteurs polluants, la finance durable étudie la performance environnementale, sociale et de gouvernance des entreprises. Pour finir, la finance à impact vise une transformation juste et durable de l'économie réelle, et est capable d'apporter une preuve tangible de ces changements. # Un des éléments essentiels de la finance à impact, c'est son caractère intentionnel : la raison d'être de l'entreprise doit émaner de ses actions. # Pour être certain du succès des entreprises à impact avec lesquelles elle travaille, Kimpa suit des critères précis. Leurs équipes les sélectionnent si elles garantissent une double contribution positive, qui puisse répondre à deux objectifs de développement durable. Un bon exemple serait l'entreprise TooGoodToGo qui rencontre un succès croissant, en agissant à la fois pour la consommation responsable et contre la faim. # Le choix des placements peut également s'effectuer en suivant les propositions d'un club d'investisseurs. L'émergence des groupes comme Angels Santé, FrenchFounders ou 50 Partners répond à un besoin de sécurité : il existe un véritable intérêt à ne pas investir seul et à s'aligner sur un objectif commun. Quelques références citées dans l'épisode : Les objectifs de développement durable formulés par les Nations Unies, qui servent de premier guide pour qualifier les intentions d'un investisseur quant au bénéfice qu'il ou elle souhaite apporter à la planète et à la société via son investissement. Parmi les acteurs considérés pour leur impact tangible et pour le retour financier cohérent, les clients de Kimpa citent par exemple : les startups à impact Betteries, Too Good To Go, ou encore L'intendance les fonds Ring Mission, Blisce, 2050, 50 Partners Impact, Impact partners, Raise ou encore Norrsken La mesurabilité est le dernier pilier fondamental de l'investissement à impact. La mesure d'impact peut être réalisée grâce à des référents internationaux comme les 5 dimensions du GIIN par exemple ou via des agences spécialisées répertoriées ici par Weefin. Beaucoup de sujets évoqués s'appliquent aux investisseurs professionnels, mais pour les investisseurs retails, il existe d'autres plateformes : généralistes en actions : Eldorado, Crowdcube, Anaxago, en dette : October, MiiMOSA, ou spécialisées impact : Lita, Wiseed, Activeseed. Et entre les deux, les clubs de business angels : FrenchFounders via son Investors Club, ou Angel Santé, ainsi que des acteurs néo-banques engagées comme Green Got, ou helios, ou d'épargne comme Goodvest. Trois livres de chevet recommandés par Vincent Piche : Zero to One de Peter Thiel, pour la qualification des startups. Le Monde sans fin, une bande dessinée de Jean-Marc Jancovici et Christophe Blain. How to avoid a climate disaster de Bill Gates, pour ceux qui sortent atterrés de la COP 26 et qui souhaitent comprendre les enjeux climatiques. Ils y parlent aussi d'anciens épisodes : #12 - L'Impact Investing : Investir dans un Burger King pour avoir un impact social en gagnant de l'argent. avec Mathieu Cornieti d'IMPACT Partenaires #79 - Un an plus tard, comment les montres d'occasion ont résisté à la crise, avec Greg Blumenfeld du Guide des Montres #81 - Faut-il investir dans l'épargne responsable ? avec Joseph Choueifaty de Goodvest #148 GDIY : Jean-David Chamboredon – isai – Tout comprendre sur les fonds d'investissements Bonne écoute !

Impact investing has grown to be a $500 billion industry. In a recent GIIN survey, 80% of impact investors said that more transparency around impact investing results would help reduce "impact washing" and “industry-mission drift.” This week, we speak with Fleur Heyns. Fleur is the co-founder of Proof of Impact, a technology company that enables the tracking, measurement, and verification of the impact of investments. Fleur was previously the founder and CEO of Global Trader, now the largest online stockbroker and trading platform in South Africa. She has been an investor, advisor, and founding shareholder of many initiatives across South Africa and Europe including Emerge Education, ClearlySo, and Ardmore Design. "If you were able to make impact visible, and every single company were completely transparent, it is totally obvious that only the companies that have positive impact would thrive and be financially successful," says Fleur. "It's not what you do but how you do it that matters."

My guest today is Amit Bouri, he was one of the founders of the Global Impact Investment Network (known as the GIIN) back in 2009. Today, he’s the CEO, and he not only manages this key global institution, but he’s also steered the global direction of the field of impact investment. This was a radical new concept a mere ten years ago, the idea of investors measuring their social impact as closely as they measure their profits. But today, it’s prolific. Growth is strong, and it's proven that it can not only survive a downturn, but also contribute to the rebuilding. Amit was generous with the insights about his own background, as much as he was about how he sees the future evolution of this concept of impact, in all its forms. But enough from me, let’s dive in.

Ben Constable-Maxwell is Head of Sustainable and Impact Investing at M&G Investments, leading the strategy on impact investing as well as covering sustainability issues such as climate change and the circular economy.  He has been central to the development of ESG integration within M&G’s investment processes and has supported the development of ESG solutions for clients across asset classes.  Ben plays an active industry role as a member of various sustainable and impact investment initiatives, interacting with companies, policymakers, NGOs and other investors. He is a Trustee at Firefly International youth organisation, which provides educational and mental health support for young people in conflict-affected areas in the Balkans and Middle East.  Previous to joining M&G in 2003, Ben spent four years with the Equities team at Invesco Perpetual.  He has an honours degree in Classics from the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne. Highlights:  “We have a responsibility to integrate ESG across our suite of investments and asset classes” If you think about the the issues that drive performance, the issues that really can cause major blow ups, often they're ESG related. Data breach, oil spills, falling faul to a major diversity and inclusion related scandal are all things that can hit the reputation and bottom line of consumers. We just think you have to take into account all these risk whether ESG funds or not, right across all $350B assets. “We have a suite of ESG funds that covers different asset classes. Over the last 10 years, in particular the past 4-5 years, the ESG integration programs across M&G started in equities and fixed income, but is now broadening out to all asset classes on behalf of clients. All of them now say they embrace and integrate and ESG approach.” We have to and our clients wants specifically designed funds with clearly articulated ESG integration programmes  Impact financing fund - Private debt investments in liquid debts investments that have a net positive impact such as social housing, energy efficiency and green buildings, renewable energy infrastructures ESG needs to be managed and communicated just as how the risk function has evolved over the past 10-15 years. There is expectation from clients that ESG is an important part of the process. It’s not just the ESG team, it has to come from the leadership. Companies are not just seeing this as a leadership issue, they are seeing this as a survival issue. Shifting from competitive, moated competitive advantage thinking to a open-minded, supportive, collaborative approach. Mindset shift in healthcare sector with Covid - the role is not just to protect your IP and generate super normal returns but to provide healthcare and save lives. M&G Triple “I” framework: Investment, Intentionality, Impact. Investment: sustainable business models, good company, long-term. Intention comes from purpose, clarity of purpose and authenticity. Examples of KPIs - Millions of tons of greenhouse gas saved, avoidance of virgin material and use of virgin forest. Millions of trees saved, millions of people accessing financial services in underserved communities. Move from a shareholder primacy perspective to a stakeholder responsibility perspective. A company should genuinely be thinking about its responsibilities to all stakeholders and future generations. Impact adjusted accounting approach - we need a new accounting system for the 21st century.

Philanthropic investment funds are far less helpful than they would lead us to believe. This means that investing for the good of humanity needs to follow a different model. Today, we explore a concept called impact investing with Dr. Charly Kleissner, a novel approach he has been developing over the last 20 years that prioritizes impact over returns. Over this time, Charly has started KL Felicitas Foundation, Toniic, and ImpactAssets, three groups that try to orchestrate impact investing in different ways. This episode takes place in two parts. The first focuses on Charly’s investment philosophy and why he thinks the system is broken and needs an overhaul. In this section, we use the term Deep Ecology as a springboard to understand Deep Impact investing and how it presents an alternative investment model that is not born from an anthropocentric philosophy. We explore why philanthropy and ESG’s actually have a net harmful impact, how social impact bonds and tokenization of impact present a way forward, and the steps Charly’s different companies have taken to get impact investing off the ground. The second section of the show dives into the other half of the equation, a consciousness revolution Charly believes needs to happen before humanity can take the steps required to live in a way that benefits rather than harms the planet.

Jason Mitchell is Co-Head of Responsible Investment for Man Group plc. He is responsible for directing the development of impact, thematic and norms-based investment strategies as well as the broader integration of ESG criteria across asset classes and multi-asset solutions. Jason also acts as advisor on funds where ESG, impact investing, engagement and norms-based screening represent a principal feature of the strategy. He co-chairs Man Group’s Stewardship & Active Ownership Committee. He speaks and writes widely on social and environmental issues, most recently in the FT and London Review of Books. He also hosts ‘A Sustainable Future’, an award-winning podcast about what we’re doing today to build a more sustainable world tomorrow. The podcast profiles organizations, leaders and academics who are examining all facets of sustainability, from climate change and migration to governance and global norms. The podcast provides an open, educational resource to anyone interested in exploring approaches to sustainable, responsible investing. Highlights: Jason works on better management of ESG at a portfolio level. What happens to ESG when elevating from a typical single issuer or single security measures to portfolio allocation of capital. “We actually think that cultivating different types of approaches is actually a huge positive for us because when you think about all these businesses ... as individuals streets or lanes all meeting at one intersection that  ... kind of feels like Piccadilly square, it's just noisy loud. And at that intersection when it comes to this space you find differing, sometimes conflicting expectations, approaches and implementations of, let's say ESG. My point is that the intersection is an incredibly powerful way to understand what we want to build.” What are we solving for? What is the end game? ... The bigger end game is always how are you better at understanding the risk ... and how ultimately you can elevate this up to asset allocation strategies. When we think about long term versus short term time horizons or preference around ownership periods, there is also materiality concerns. The big innovation has to be data oriented. “It's been a complete sea change over the last 12 to 24 months, reflected in RFPs - requests for proposals - where clients are asking for information in a way that they haven't before.” There is a clear leadership effect with the biggest pension funds on the Top 50 leading the way and influencing the rest. The analogy to showing an example of one sustainable investment in a presentation to clients to when “Charlie Chaplin entered a Charlie Chaplin lookalike contest…. Its sort of an empty anecdote because it doesn’t reveal its context.” “One of the best things that I've done and most gratifying things I would say, is producing a chapter for CFA ESG investing certificate, it's chapter eight on portfolio construction and management.” The conversation with CEO of Banco Sabadell asset management in Barcelona sharing why climate action is important Understanding Jason’s personal arc and why he entered into this space.  Importance of being curious is whichever context you choose to pursue.

#14 How Gender-Lens Investment and Economic Development Can Drive Impact Together

According to the GIIN's 2018, Annual Impact Investor Survey, a majority of respondents reported applying a gender lens to their investments processes—an astounding 70%. And while gender lens investing holds the potential that investment capital can support women-owned and gender-friendly businesses while delivering a return on investment, a separate question persists: can gender lens investing actually support women's economic empowerment in the world's most challenging markets? UNCDF and Artesian, the global alternative investment management firm, are offering their own answer to this question. Last week, they launched an impact partnership to support gender lens investing, boost female leaders in the corporate workplace, and support women's economic empowerment in the LDCs. Under this partnership, Artesian's gender-lensed investment bond fund (the WE Fund) will donate a third of its management fee to UNCDF and to the nonprofit, SheSyndicate, to support their work in the area of women's economic empowerment, including work in the 47 LDCs. For Episode 14 of Capital Musings, we talk with Vicky Lay, Managing Director of Artesian. She discusses the demand for gender lens investment opportunities, the economic argument for women's economic empowerment, and the impact partnership with UNCDF.

Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2F3EBS6, Increasingly, people want to be seen as making impact investments. Some in the socially responsible investing sphere, for instance, have started to describe their practice as a subset of a broader theme of impact investing. If there isn’t an agreed-upon definition, it is hard to measure its growth or much else about it. This makes the definition used by the nonprofit Global Impact Investing Network, almost always referred to simply as the GIIN (pronounced like the drink), important. Speaking with co-founder and CEO, Amit Bouri, I asked for his definition. (You can watch our full interview in the player at the top of this article.) “Impact investments are investments made into companies, organizations, and funds with the intention to generate social and environmental impact alongside a financial return. Impact investments can be made in both emerging and developed markets and target a range of returns from below market to market rate, depending upon investors’ objectives,” he said.

For as long as I have been a social sector professional, there has always been a desire to do more partnering with the “private sector.” And, by that I mean traditional, for profit or commercial enterprises like Coke, Toyota or Airbus. In fact, 14 years ago, the capstone project of my Masters degree at American University was, I’m not kidding, “The Role of The Private Sector in Conflict Resolution.” My point here is that this is not a new topic by any stretch. No matter how you’d like to approach it, the reason why we don’t see more traditional investment in parts of the world where its necessary to send aid or development assistance can be boiled down to one word: risk. Money, or more specifically the individuals who control money, large and small amounts alike, do not like to place that money at risk of being lost. Unfortunately, the places where social sector actors choose to align there sights for action can readily be characterized along a scale of increasing risk. But here’s the thing - the money, or again the individuals who control the money, are also constantly on the lookout for new opportunities that offer potentially high rates of return. And, funny enough, you guessed it, the places where those of us in the social sector live and work are also places that offer tremendous potential markets and high-return opportunities. So what’s an investor to do? Luckily, Joan Larrea has agreed to be my guest on today’s 154th Terms of Reference Podcast. Joan is the CEO of Convergence, an institution that connects, educates, and supports investors to execute blended finance transactions that increase private sector investment in emerging markets. Joan has 20 years of experience in emerging markets investing. She led the U.S. Overseas Private Investment Corporation's efforts to partner with philanthropic and private investors, she was a managing director on the emerging markets team at Global Environment Fund and she began her career as an investment officer at International Finance Corporation. This episode is a fantastic conversation about how Convergence is attempting to breath life into investments that would otherwise be too risky for the traditional private sector. We not only discuss the three ways in which Convergence works, but we also touch on several of the deals they have helped bring to life. We also talk about the reasons why this type of investing can be so difficult for everyone involved and where that trepidation comes from.

Upstart Co-Lab is a startup itself, launching earlier this year. The Calvert Foundation is a leader in impact investing, making such investments accessible to ordinary investors–not just the wealthy. Artspace, also a nonprofit, develops live/work projects for artists around the country. While not seeking to invest directly in works of art, the new partnership is intended to fund businesses that artists often own, being social entrepreneurs by nature. Laura Callanan, Founding Partner of Upstart Co-Lab, says, art is a big part of the economy but not enough investment is being made there. “The creative economy is more than 4 percent of the US GDP. But JP Morgan and the GIIN report that art and culture are 0% of impact investing. There are currently no tools, funds or manager strategies enabling impact investors to align their capital with the creative sector.” ----------------- Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2hOZLc9.

Impact investing is always happening, whether we think about it or not. If you put money in a bank account, the bank uses your money and there is an impact. If you invest in the stock market, even if you invest in an index fund of all stocks, your money is still making an impact. The only question is, are you consciously choosing the kind of impact that you want to have. Consumers are waking up, becoming conscious of the impact of their spending in alignment with their values. Millennials are choosing to work in jobs that are more closely aligned to their values. In the same way, investors are beginning to ask questions about impact of their investments. Amit Bouri is a thought leader in the area of impact investing. He is the cofounder and CEO of GIIN, The Global Impact Investing Network. GIIN is a nonprofit with a mission to increase the scale and effectiveness of impact investing. They provide several tools to help anyone from students to impact investors to make data-driven decisions. Their site is rich with answers for general consumers. The GIIN noticed that investors need a common language to describe and compare the social, environmental and financial performance of their investments. Therefore, GIIN has developed IRIS, a catalog of generally accepted performance metrics help impact investors to measure and manage the performance of their investments. Fund managers and investors need a way to find one another. Therefore, The GIIN provides ImpactBase. ImpactBase is a searchable, online database of impact investment funds and products designed for investors. An accredited investor can sort investment opportunities by impact themes (e.g., Green Tech), target geographies, asset class (fixed income, private equity, etc.), status (open, commitments, etc.) and target returns, including risk-adjusted market rates. Impact Investing Quotes from Amit Bouri: “Impact investments are investments made into companies or organizations with the intention of having a positive social and/or environmental impact, alongside financial returns.” “How do we build the capital markets that will support the growth of social entrepreneurs?” “The role of capital is shifting in terms of what people think about what capital should be accomplishing.” “People are thinking about where their values belong very differently.” “It’s really important to think about the impact your assets are having, and they’re all having an impact whether you like it or not.” “I encourage you to think more broadly about your investments. We don’t typically think of our savings accounts as investments.” “As long as you have a bank account, you’re technically an investor.” Announcing Culture Shift Learning Academy In today’s episode, we announce Culture Shift Learning Academy, a comprehensive system to help you flesh out your social impact idea and start achieving it.

Over the past several years as impact investing has captured the attention of the world’s wealthy, people started by asking “what is impact investing?” Today, the question more people are asking is “how do I do impact investing?” [Jump to page 2 to watch the live interview.] The Global Impact Investing Network, co-founded by Amit Bouri who serves today as the CEO, sits near the center of this discussion. The GIIN (pronounced like jean or gene gin, as in gin and tonic) is building a database of impact measures in hopes of creating a resources that will help standardize impact measures. Investors of all sorts are relatively good at measuring return on investment. Many investors, myself included, check their portfolio values daily. Some monitor them throughout the day–even if they aren’t trading. Others fall back to reviewing quarterly and annual statements, but however financial returns are measured, such measures are easy to gather. The GIIN is helping to make impact measurement just as easy. Impact investors will achieve target impacts unless they have good data with which to measure the impacts. And let’s be clear, much of what we initially think of as impact is just activity. An investment that increases the number of books in children’s hands isn’t really an impact so much as an intermediate outcome. The impact is the changes, positive we hope, that are yielded in the lives of the children. Are they doing better in school, reading at or above grade level, graduating from high school, matriculating into college, etc. The GIIN is working to help us measure impact in all its forms. Bouri is bullish on the future. “Impact investing has the potential to channel significant amounts of private capital to solutions to the worlds most intransigent challenges. Last year was a banner year for impact investing and set the stage for 2016 to be a year of tremendous growth and progress.” Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://onforb.es/1KZ5a4x.
