IMPACT INVESTING. TO ME IT IS AN "ADJACENT POSSIBLE" OF ADDITIONAL OPTIONS FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR OUR PLANET, AND A HOPEFUL, FULFILLING FUTURE FOR ITS CITIZENS.
I BELIEVE THAT IMPACT INVESTING CAN BE UNDERSTOOD BY ANYONE USING 4 WORDS: 'THE POWER OF AND".
THE BEAUTY OF IMPACT INVESTING IS THAT IT IS A PURE DERIVATIVE OF "THE POWER OF AND". WHILE IT IS TRUE THAT INVESTING IS ABOUT A FINANCIAL BOTTOM LINE; IT HAS BEEN PROVEN BY HEROIC IMPACT INVESTORS THAT ANYONE CAN TARGET TRADITIONAL RISK-ADJUSTED FINANCIAL RETURNS AND MEASURABLE SOCIAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL RETURNS (OUTCOMES) AT THE SAME TIME.
THAT IS "THE POWER OF AND".
I CHOSE THE NAME FOR THIS SITE BASED ON A RECOGNITION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THESE 4 WORDS AS WELL AS THE TARGET MARKET FOR THESE TYPES OF OF STRATEGIES. I CAN THINK OF 4 MAIN POTENTIAL CLIENTS WHO SHOULD BE INTERESTED IN IMPACT INVESTING:
1) MY MILLENIAL DAUGHTER 2) MY MILLENIAL SON 3) MY 105-YEAR-OLD JOKESTER RELATIVE ALF AND SOMEONE I WILL CALL 4) "Everyone Inbetween"
