Generating Alpha through Intentional Impact Investing to Bridge the Equity Gap
There’s no denying the importance of export and trade to economic development and its contribution to job creation, generational wealth creation, and by extension poverty alleviation. Manufacturing companies owned and operated by women and people of color often fall victim to the equity gap, and so experience great difficulty achieving their growth and export targets as a result of financial constraints. Targeted, intentional investments into these underserved groups, can generate not just significant impact in low and medium income communities, but also present a risk mitigated investment opportunity with high return on investment for investors.
Join this webinar for insightful discussion on:
- Venture/growth capital and diversity
- Opportunities in the manufacturing sector — clean manufacturing and clean tech
- What makes this a risk mitigated investment strategy
- How high impact and high returns can be achieved through investing in an export centered strategy
- Strategies to measure impact to assess success of this strategy
