Hi Duncan/ Rachel
Agree with all this, but in my view one can have listed impact funds that are intentional, measurable, and through engagement over time ( or with large shareholdings in smaller/micro caps) additional. I think these Listed Impact Funds have a tremendous future if done with the right intentions. I have recently started a Listed Impact Investment Group on LinkedIn - please join the conversation there. Very happy to post this article to the group if you are up for this.
Hi Michael,
Delighted for you to post to the group. Thank you for asking.
