SOCAP23 - Gender Lens Investing: Mitigating the Risk of Implosion
Channel: SOCAP Global
Date: 2024-03-30

Conversations around gender in the investment process are stuck on a hamster wheel; where for many newcomers it’s an area of untapped potential, stymied by the fear of getting on the wrong side of politicians and key stakeholders.

For many practitioners, fund managers, and other leaders in the impact space, investing with a gender lens is a necessary pathway to truly holistic risk analysis and mitigation. 
This interactive session will highlight the design of products and programs that champion inclusive and intersectional gender analysis, then move into a discussion about lessons learned and the path forward.

Speakers:
Nneka Eze | VestedWorld
Rachel Robasciotti | Adasina Social Capital
Rehana Nathoo | Spectrum Impact
Ashley  Hopkinson | Solutions Journalism Network (Moderator)
