Investment

The idea of a “social return” on investment represents a fundamental shift in development thinking. When investors demand a social return, they begin to unlock the true potential of communities to help themselves. Impact and responsible investing is an opportunity for South Africa to mobilise its dynamic private sector and capital markets to address the issues we face as a society in transition.

• The SA Social Investment Exchange - SASIX - lists investment-ready social development projects that are pre-assessed for impact and their capacity to deliver.
• We have an award-winning impact investing joint venture with Cadiz Asset Management which integrates Cadiz’s considerable asset management expertise with our project initiation, analysis and impact reporting capability.

We’re investing in areas where, unusually, both the need and the growth is greatest. – Heather Jackson, Cadiz Asset Management
