Let's discuss inclusivity in impact investing.

AltamarCAM participated in the 2023 Private Equity International Women in Private Markets Summit organised by PEI in London this week. Rocio Heres Fernández-Ladreda, Private Equity Partner, actively contributed to the panel discussing the evolution of the impact investing market, exploring trends, and highlighting innovative investment approaches. 🎙 “Aligning the financial system with sustainable developments is what stimulates action in areas of critical importance for humanity and the planet.” #PrivateMarkets #WomenInPrivateMarkets"

I’m on the plane home from another great event by #PEI - the Women in Private Markets Summit. I had a few minutes to compile my takeaways. First!! The comraderie from a female dominated Private Equity conference is really profound. How incredible to hear from all women panels and be in productive think tanks of women who have paved the way in PE before me. As a young female professional, I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to attend this event and hear from these amazing people. ++ Pictured below is the day 1 DEI panel; the information shared sparked some really eye opening conversations - cool to sit in on this with our female CFO, Karen Weller, CA, CPA, CTP. Second.. I’m never going to be done learning. Ever. My rapid note taking skills have improved and I’m excited to digest these thoughts and do my research to implement these market tactics in my work. (Shoutout to my fiancé for my new electronic note taker, such a fun tool!) Third.. The LP perspective on Q4 is positive. There’s light at the end of the tunnel. I’m excited to watch our firm rocket to the sky. Fundraising is a tough exercise but there is capital out there and I’m confident in our teams investment strategies. Last thing.. Responsible and sustainable investments are needed. They’re wanted. They are imperative. They also yield higher returns with lower risks. I’m excited to work for a firm that lives this daily and is dedicated to a greener future!

The movement has some documentation. Thanks for sending me this report Cliff Feigenbaum. I appreciate the focus. “Women & Impact Investing” -March issue from GreenMoney is online. Maria Lettini of US SIF tell us “Women contribute more than $7 trillion to US GDP each yr & they control $10 trillion in assets, a number that is expected to grow to $30 trillion over the next decade.” All at- https://GreenMoney.com #womeninvesting, #impact #impactinvesting #venturecapital #sustainability

Power is the ability to do something that impacts outcomes or directly influences the behaviors of others.. People and technology are forms of power. Throughout history, it’s largely remained in the hands of a group that look, act and aggregate similarly, with entrenched incentives to maintain existing architectures. My prediction for 2024 is that it’s the year of the Great Redistribution where intelligence, impact, access and power is democratized. My hope is that given we understand the causality behind the inherent bias and inequity that exists across every industry in our global economy, that we can begin to break down the barriers that hinder meaningful progress towards a fair and more equitable world. I’m grateful to all the men, women and organizations that make this part of their mission. ProjectW Raccord Inc.

I was asked to help design an all female panel discussing investing from a family office perspective. Always inspired to support the feminine point of view for positive change. Looking forward to this one! “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” Albert Einstein -Honouring different perspectives and diversity for better outcomes. -Unique gifts that women bring to investing. -Heart-led impact investing & why it makes a difference. #floridafamilyoffice #familyofficeconference #whotels #artbasel #womeninbusiness #impactinvesting
