What does investing have to do with gender? Potentially more than you think! This week’s episode, in honour of International Women’s Day, focuses on gender-lens investing: what do we mean, what does it look like, what can investors do next and why does it matter to everyone?
We unpick the three strands of gender-lens investing, covering investment for, in and by women, as well as tackling common misconceptions. Recognising that there is no such thing as a gender-neutral investment, this is all about being intentional on the exposures and impacts that your investments have.
To help us unpick these themes, we’re joined by Isabella Craft, ESG and Impact Manager at ImpactA Global. She brings her experience from various emerging markets approaches, to really bring to life the nuances in this space.
What’s one thing you’d like listeners to take away?
- Understanding that your investments aren’t gender-neutral, so if you don’t measure it, how can you manage it? You can apply that across the whole industry and beyond.
Any recommendations?
