Theme: CAN PRIVATE CAPITAL BE A TOOL FOR A BETTER WORLD? We are used to thinking that capital investments are for the sake of generating shareholder returns, while philanthropy is a tool for good. But what if we turn these notions on their head and capital starts working as a tool for a better world? This TEDx Talk is about an industry that was formed only around five years ago, but already measures $502 billion dollars. This industry has the capacity to change the world within our lifetimes, transform it for the better, and this process is already taking place. A new generation of financiers is engaging in investments with positive social, economic and environmental implications, creating good for the people and the planet. Today, we will discuss these impact investors, the ranks of which are being joined not just by development institutions, high net worth families, but also Wall Street.
