Summary: In this episode, Capital Insight co-hosts and securities attorneys Jenny Kassan and Michelle Thimesch talk with Morgan Simon, co-founder of Candide Group, an investment firm working with families, foundations, athletes, and cultural influencers who want their money working for justice. Bio: Morgan Simon has two decades of experience making finance a tool for social justice. In that time she has influenced over $150B and is a regularly sought out expert on impact investing. Her book, Real Impact: The New Economics of Social Change has been featured everywhere from Harvard Business School to the United Nations. She is a regular voice in media and an active investor as Founding Partner of Candide Group, a Registered Investment Advisor. Key quotes: “How do we make sure that impact investment isn't just another form of wealthy people getting to decide what the world is going to look like? That means being really intentional about community engagement, design, governance, and ownership - and seeing how to use investment models to encourage that transfer of community resources and control.” “Money is the source of independence and power…For instance, when we talk about poverty, that's really more about autonomy and the ability to make great choices for yourself and your family and your community, versus any particular metric around how much money is in your bank account. When we address that more holistic view, it leads to very different investment approaches.” Links/socials: @morgansimon1 on Twitter and Instagram @moneyandjustice on Facebook Book: Purchase on Amazon Purchase from an indie Website: The Candide Group Additional resources: Angels of Main Street is a community of investors with no minimum wealth or income requirement to join.

As the new year begins, we often think about what to do with our money. In a world in which we are more socially and politically divided than ever, in which change is happening at an exponential pace, in which technology may lead us to a worse or a better place, how we invest, how we spend money, and where that money goes, takes on more urgency than ever. Both spending and investing is now more than just part of our economic dialogue. It is a part of our social fabric. How it comes together, and what it accomplishes has profound consequences. Morgan Simon is a leader in impact investment who builds bridges between finance and social justice. Over the past seventeen years, she has influenced over $150 billion in capital and she recently authored Real Impact: The New Economics of Social Change. My conversation with Morgan Simon:

Money has the power to destroy, but it can also be an incredibly effective tool for social change. Impact investing – the support of social and environmental projects with a financial return – has become a hot topic on the global stage; poised to eclipse traditional aid by ten times in the next decade. And it has the potential to completely restructure the global economy, making social and environmental responsibility integral to how we move money through society, rather than an afterthought. In her book REAL IMPACT: The New Economics of Social Change, Morgan Simon argues that impact investing will do a lot of good – if we can get it right. An impact investor with 17 years of experience who has influenced over $150 billion from endowments, families, and foundations – who also manages funds for members of the seventh wealthiest family in America – Simon sees warning signs that impact investment is at a crucial turning point. As investors focus on growth and acceptance, it's actually in danger of replicating the same mistakes of traditional charity and finance that impact investment was designed to correct. And without the right guiding principles, it has the potential to do more harm than good On today's show we talked with Author Morgan Simon about her book Real Impact - The New Economics of Social Change.  Morgan Simon is a widely recognized leader in impact investment who builds bridges between finance and social justice. Over the past seventeen years, she has influenced over $150 billion from high-net-worth individuals, foundations, and endowments. She supports Pi Investments and the Libra Foundation, and is also co- founder and chair of the nonprofit Transform Finance.

"Money is a tool to create the things that we want. It is a proxy for security, health, and welfare for our families and loved ones. When we lose that holistic thinking about what wealth is, then our money winds up working at a very singular purpose to create more pieces of paper as opposed to create greater human and environmental welfare." - Morgan SimonWhen we put our money in a bank (or a mutual fund, pension plan, endowment, etc.) it doesn't just sit there, it is put to use. It is invested in the economy, and it has power. But have you ever stopped to wonder what your money is being invested in? Is it supporting the causes and communities you care about? Or is it being used to further the cause of individuals, organizations, or governments that you disagree with.It is time to recognize that we are all investors, and that it is up to us to make sure we are adding more value than we extract and that the risk and returns are balanced between our investments and the communities.This is the basis for impact investing. Impact investing is the support of social and environmental projects with a financial return, and it has become a hot topic in the world's philanthropy and development circles. In the next decade, it is poised to eclipse traditional aid by ten times. Yet for all the excitement, there is work to do to ensure it actually realizes it’s potential.This week on the show we are interviewing an expert in this field, Morgan Simon. Morgan is the author of the brand new book, Real Impact: The New Economics of Social Change. Over the past seventeen years, she has influenced over $150 billion in capital. Morgan currently co-leads Candide Group, which supports two clients, including members of the Pritzker family on behalf of the Libra Foundation.

Never miss another interview! Join Devin here: http://bit.ly/joindevin. Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2gR4JCV. We’re all familiar with payday lenders who are providing loans to people who can least afford it at interest rates that shock the greediest of corporate bankers. Can a fintech company that lends at rates up to 200% annual percentage rates ever be considered ethical? In this piece, I’m going to share my conclusion. To help me make this evaluation, I turned to Morgan Simon, a vocal advocate for using a social justice lens for impact investing. She is the author of Real Impact: The New Economics of Social Change and Managing Director of Candide Group. She framed the question for me: In general, when we think about fintech, from microfinance in the global south to financial services for working class populations in the US, we think a lot about the question of fairness. It’s common for a social enterprise to focus on providing better rates to a customer compared to what they had access to. But better does not always mean fair. So, we always look at a company and try to assess--is the financing non-extractive, meaning the customer receives more value than the company? Is the operating margin reasonable compared to the consumer value created? Does the product help build assets as opposed to focusing predominately on consumption? Each company and case is different, and hence it’s impossible to say that a certain range of APRs enables fairness. It’s important to take each company case-by-case and try to assess its particular impact. Read the full Forbes article and watch the interview here: http://bit.ly/2gR4JCV.

Morgan Simon has been a leader in impact investment for the past seventeen years and has managed over $150 billion in capital. She is the author of the book, Real Impact: The Economics of Social Change and spent some time to talk with us about impact investment. Venture Vignette host Riana Shah sat down with her at her offices in Oakland, CA and here are five things to take away from the conversation. 1. Go after your passion and turn it into an opportunity not just for yourself, but for others as well. Simon discovered impact investment through her passion for social justice. She started by working with a lot of neighboring immigrant communities and discovered that many of the challenges they faced had to do with economic autonomy and economic opportunity. As a result, she turned her attention to impact investment because it was the perfect intersection where she could apply her education in finance with her passion for social justice while helping underserved communities. 2. Build a network of people outside of your normal social group. Building a network and making friends is not as hard as you think! It's as easy as calling up a local organization whose mission you care about and asking whether you could volunteer for them. Not only will you get to know your fellow neighbors and learn more about ongoing issues, but you never know when these relationships might turn themselves into job opportunities or to tap into underserved markets. 3. You don't have to be a millionaire investor to influence capital. Feel empowered to demand increased transparency from the resource rich organizations (e.g. your alma mater) to which you are connected! Many people think that in order to influence capital, they need to have some amount of wealth to begin with. In reality, that's not the case. Asking institutions (like your alma mater) where money is being invested and writing to them about where you would like to see your contributions go are easy ways to make an impact. If you're looking for more ways to influence capital, think about breaking up with your bank and get involved with local institutions and look into social opportunities to make a difference. The more you are involved with organizations and institutions, the more opportunities there will be for you to influence capital. 4. For entrepreneurs who want to be involved in impact investment and uphold their values for a more just world, remember to be transparent with your investors. What Simon means by this is to be clear and open about what your values and intentions are in the context of your business model. Ask yourself who are the people you want to engage and benefit, are you adding more value than you extract and finally, with everyone taking on a risk in the investment transaction, are they all being rewarded in that process? 5. If you're the only minority person in the room, don't be intimidated. Use this moment as an opportunity to show that being a woman, a person of color, LGBTQ+ has nothing to do how well you do your job and show that you are just as good (if not better!) as your counterparts. Show your voice in this space and how much your unique experiences and perspective can benefit others. 6. In whatever you do, never be afraid to ask questions! For Simon, her entire job revolves around asking questions because there are always going to be things that she doesn't know and there are experts out there who will know more than she does. Same for you, there are things you will know and now know, and by asking questions, you'll learn things from different fields that you can bring to the table for your next exciting project! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/venture-vignettes/support
