Impact Investing: The Art of the Deal
Dave Chen, N. Lee, Sari Miller, Eitan Stibbe, Martha Minowski, Ann Coopermann, Chip, Andy Cooper
A panel of global investment leaders from Equilibrium Capital Group, Impact Investment Exchange, LeapFrog, and Vital Capital convened to define impact investing as a practice where intentional social and environmental outcomes are non-negotiable components of the investment thesis alongside market-rate or preservation returns. The discussion detailed practical execution strategies, ranging from complex financing structures like convertible notes and tax equity flips to rigorous measurement frameworks such as GEARS that rejected 40% of opportunities due to social and environmental risks. By highlighting specific case studies in micro-insurance, African agro-industrial centers, and US real estate, the panel demonstrated how practitioners mitigate mission drift and generate sustainable alpha through deep community integration and strategic capital stacking.
