Description
A full-fledged Impact Economy requires active citizen participation. Simply put, mainstream movements need mass involvement. The onus is on us, impact actors, to create products and services that engage citizens as consumers and investors. However, democratizing retail investment has been difficult, and ESG-type offerings lack clear impact attribution.
We propose an innovative sector-agnostic Impact Fund that taps into the latent retail demand for impact investing. A case study demonstrates how this attracts institutional investment and simultaneously fosters regenerative enterprises. Peer-level exchange on opportunities and gaps and deep-dives into structure and resources, will create a blueprint for this transformative vehicle.
