Very nice concept of finance that focus on financial problems like education, healthcare, poverty, food-security. Social Economy Organisations. This concept is really needed for solving human financial problems.
Could you please explain how the returns are sourced if a certain project becomes successful/achieves the desired outcomes? I'm assuming these causes are all not profit generating and the funding is entirely used in program delivery, monitoring and evaluation. So in that case, where will the social economy organisations get the funds to pay back to investors?
Hey Prajeeth, Thank you for the series. Got a ton of new information from these videos and absolutely loved the way you conveyed all that. I am going to pursue my PhD in Sustainability Finance. Hope I can shed some light on this area and convince more people in believing in Sustainability Finance.
First of all, thank you for the informative video! Unfortunately, I can't find the McKinsey and GIIN reports mentioned in the video at 4:43. Would you be so kind and post the links to the reports? Either here under the comment or in the video description? That would help me a lot with my thesis on the topic of social finance! Many thanks in advance!
Hey Ace, we are extremely glad you found our content informative! So, here are the links you have requested: 1. You can find the link to the McKinsey Article - www.mckinsey.com/industries/private-equity-and-principal-investors/our-insights/a-closer-look-at-impact-investing 2. You can download the GIIN report from here - thegiin.org/research/publication/impinv-survey-2020 Hope this helps!
Hi Prajeeth, these 5 videos were fantastic!! I've been reading about sustainable finance lately and looking into education and further career prospects in this field. Would be great if you could give some guidance for the same! Thanks!
Hi Sanjana, thank you, we are super happy that you enjoyed our series and found it informative! With regards to guidance, we are not the experts. However, having interacted with people who are experts in this field and researched about it, here are some recommendations.
