The Week’s Podcasts

🎧 This Week in Impact. Host Brian Walsh takes up ImpactAlpha’s top stories with editor David Bank. Up this week: climate is on the ballot across the globe, whether politicians admit it or not; how impact accounting standards are meeting investors’ demands for interoperability; and what it means to build bridges across the “missing middle” for commercial climate solutions.

The Week’s Agents of Impact

These Latin American fund managers are seeking alpha in climate tech, edtech and impact (videos). From Mexico to Chile to Argentina, fund managers in Latin America are finding overlooked opportunities for impact – and returns – in the region. Despite a venture capital correction, managers are betting on the region’s entrepreneurial talent, youthful population and homegrown solutions to climate change and inclusive growth. “A new generation of emerging managers is building on those positive trends to deliver high returns,” notes Ana Maria Aristizabal of Winnipeg Ventures, an edtech and future of work fund. Larger venture investors such as Softbank and General Atlantic have also delivered returns on their Latin American investments. Five fund managers share their perspective in video interviews from this year’s FLII in Merída, Mexico. 

The Week’s Deal Spotlight

With new Oceans Engagement Fund, UBS rides the waves of the blue economy. UBS Global Wealth Management is rolling out a blue economy impact fund to invest in 50 small and mid-cap public equities in wastewater treatment, plastic recycling, sustainable aquaculture and other ocean health issues. The Ocean Engagement Fund, a partnership with Rockefeller Asset Management, is the sequel to a $212 million sustainable oceans equity fund launched by Rockefeller and Credit Suisse, which UBS acquired last year. The new fund, which is open to European investors, “is a compelling opportunity for investors seeking uncorrelated returns and ocean health impact via shareholder engagement,” said Casey Clark of Rockefeller. Rockefeller will manage the portfolio.
