“Improving the state of the world inevitably means improving the economic and social living standards of vulnerable and destitute segments of the population; with the help of collaborations and projects based on public-private partnership. Microfinance is unique and presents exceptional opportunities in achieving this goal.”
- Prof. Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, Geneva (Foreword, Small Money Big Impact).
Over two billion people globally still lack access to basic financial services - essential for improving their livelihood. The smallest amount of money can have a big impact.
Part social movement and part financial strategy, impact investing offers the opportunity for investors to power change with so-called microloans.
In Small Money Big Impact authors Peter Fanconi and Patrick Scheurle explain how this strategy is reshaping the way people invest, as pension funds, insurance companies, foundations, family offices and private investors jump on board to not only experience the social impact, but receive attractive, stable and uncorrelated returns.
Based on their experience with micro borrowers, the book provides the latest insights and methodologies into this socially and financially rewarding asset class - explaining what microfinance is, how it works and the ways microloans and impact investing offer opportunity to those who need it most.
Small Money Big Impact is published by Wiley and available wherever books and ebooks are sold.
