Rodney Schwartz is a leader in impact investing and the founder & CEO of ClearlySo, Europe's leading impact investment bank. He founded the company 10 years ago, the same week in which one of his former employers - Lehman Brothers - collapsed, and it has now helped over 100 companies obtain access to more than £200m in funding. In this episode, he shares his wisdom and experience of decades as an investment banker and pioneer in impact investing. He also highlights some of the challenges that we are still facing to really push the agenda and access to capital, as financial institutions have been more of an obstacle in how capital moves from people with money to people who need money to generate impact.

Highlights in this episode:

  • Impact is the 3rd dimension to investing

  • The accelerating growth of impact investing

  • How ClearlySo became the leading European Impact Investment Bank

  • The challenge of creating impact and future of impact investment

  • Returns from impact investing

  • The players that are active in impact investing

  • How large banks are slowing down impact investing

  • How can people get involved with ClearlySo

  • Drivers of growth in impact investing

  • Leaders’ tips on hiring and working with investors
