Moderated Chris Holcroft, Borja Menendez and Charles Cochin de Billy, Co-Founders of the INSEAD Social Impact Fund (ISIF).

Join us for an intimate presentation and panel discussion to mark the official launch of INSEAD’s Impact Investing Club.

Conceived from a collaboration between IPEC and INDEVOR, the INSEAD Student Impact Fund offers MBA students the opportunity to invest for impact and gain first-hand experience of VC investing at every stage of the investment cycle.

Thanks to a partnership with Loyal VC, a Canada based and INSEAD alumni founded VC fund, students will work on real investment deals across 5 teams: from Deal Sourcing, due diligence and impact assessment through to portfolio management and fundraising.

Join us to meet the team, meet Loyal and to learn more about this exciting new initiative!

The world is waking up to the values of environmental and social responsibility. Over the summer, the Financial Times reported that sustainable investments outperformed the wider global stock index including during the market downturn. This strengthens the case for exploring how to integrate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in business models and investment decisions.

This November, INSEAD will discuss how to capture these opportunities during SDG Week – a three-day event co-organised by the Hoffmann Global Institute for Business and Society and our INSEAD Student Clubs. In partnership with Accenture Strategy, SDG Week connects experts and leaders with the INSEAD community – students, participants, faculty, staff, alumni and partners.

Each day will feature virtual conversations on specific solutions to understand how businesses and societies can create a positive impact in the world, while contributing to the success of the SDGs. Co-designed with eight student clubs, the 2020 edition will explore impact investing; careers in sustainability; impact entrepreneurship; and equity, diversity and inclusion. It will also present student-led initiatives contributing to the SDGs.

Play a part in breaking the poverty cycle in South East Asia
[INSEAD Global Impact Network (INDEVOR) Alumni Club Singapore]

Many of the foreign domestic workers living in Singapore left behind their children and family in hopes of creating a better future. While their remittances provide much needed financial support to their families, most women return home with little to no savings at the end of their contracts.

Aidha – Sanskrit for ‘that to which we aspire’ – teaches financial literacy and confidence skills to these foreign domestic workers to break this cycle of poverty by encouraging women to save, invest and to start a business to plan for their futures. The results are far-reaching – monthly savings increase by nearly 80% amongst alumni and alumni double the number of productive assets they own. Since its start in 2006, Aidha has impacted over 36,000 women, family and community members in some of the poorest countries in Asia.

For its advance module on starting a business, aidha is seeking volunteers to assist in its annual business plan competition:

 – Judging students’ personal financial plan (finance background necessary): late August (done remotely)
 – Judging students’ business plans (business development/entpreneur background necessary): late August (done remotely)
 – Assisting students in their business plan pitch (in person): 16 and 23 Sept OR 14 and 21 Oct (late morning to afternoon, in person)
