Beyond the label: helping clients invest in impact they can actually see

How much do people know about how their ISA is performing - not financially, but in terms of impact? Ask someone who put their ISA allowance into a community wind farm, and they will probably tell you the full story: where it is, who runs it, and how much clean power it's generating this year. That's the difference direct impact investing makes: money working where you can see it, understand what it’s funding and feel proud about.

Today, more people and IFA clients (younger people especially) are looking for this kind of direct impact within their portfolio, and the lasting positive legacy it brings. This session, hosted by Lisa Ashford (Ethex) and Ray Coyle (Energise Africa), is a practical, jargon-free look at how direct impact investing can sit inside a client portfolio as a credible, compliant satellite allocation. Not speculative crowdfunding, but vetted, asset-backed opportunities in UK community energy, fair finance and clean energy solutions for Africa, with the platforms doing the heavy lifting on due diligence and impact reporting. 

If you want a confident answer next time a client asks, "Can I put my money into something that is really doing good?", this hour-long webinar is for you.

Hosted by Lisa Ashford, Co-CEO of Ethex and Ray Coyle, CEO of Energise Africa, this webinar is ideal for IFAs and financial advisers looking to offer clients a full range of ethical investment opportunities as well as high net worth or sophisticated investors who are interested in how they can diversify their portfolio to include impact they can see.
