Investment: The ultimate impact – systems change

Crowdfunding platform Kiva is an example to everyone in finance who wants to make systemic impact.

Impact investment had its annual gathering at the Social Capital Markets conference in San Francisco in October. 

Thousands of attendees sipped kombucha, were encouraged to hug their neighbours and search their souls in the midst of serious discussions on how to direct the world’s trillions of dollars towards solving social and environmental problems. This year’s over-arching themes were gender equality, agriculture, indigenous rights and refugee finance.
