Social Equity in Action: Signals & Stories from the SVX Impact Index Quarterly Webinar Series
As conversations around inequality, representation, and economic resilience continue to grow, so does the need for capital models designed to serve communities historically excluded from opportunity.
This quarterly SVX Impact Index podcast-style webinar brings together three fund managers working at the frontlines of equity-focused investing and deploying capital where it’s needed most: BlackTech Capital Fund, Farmties Capital Ltd. Fund, and the Ilu Women's Empowerment Fund by Deetken Impact.
These are the funds reshaping what equity-focused investing looks like in practice, with stories spanning through areas including:
Supporting minority-led climate innovators
Financing African agribusinesses locked out of global markets
Strengthening the capacity of women and other vulnerable groups to adapt to climate change
Then, we’ll zoom out to explore the broader signals shaping the sector with expert perspectives.
Facilitated by Adam Spence and Jessica Vu (SVX), learn the stories behind these funds, the inequities they are working to address, and the broader market signals defining equity-focused investing right now.
