Microfinance

investment

New investors entering the impact investment

market


Much of that market is becoming pretty

saturated


And whilst we are only reaching the tip of the

iceberg ….


Others are drowning


Questions are emerging: does focus on mission

changes with incredible returns?


What does this mean for impact

investing and social stock exchanges

How do we use the markets for good?

How do we provide the developing world with real

access to the capital markets for impact investment?

How do we get people thinking beyond short-term one-

dimensional profit

How do we build commitment to a global interest instead

of self-interest?

How to we get investment advisors to realise:

prudence is about process not performance

impact investing offers a range of risk and return opportunities

there is no “free market” – government / regulators always

intervene to make sure markets work for the greater good


To what extent can – or will – shareholders

be held accountable for this?


Principles informing our work are

Innovation in method AND model is necessary to

unlock entrenched problems

We cannot operate in isolation from the entire

ecosystem

Development matters at all levels and requires a

process oriented approach

Stakeholder engagement, consent, education and

advocacy is critical - a license to grow is distinct

from license to operate


The way we choose to go will determine the

place at which we arrive

All truth passes through three stages.First, it is ridiculed.

Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

Arthur Schopenhauer German philosopher (1788 - 1860)
