Can a listed equity fund be an impact investment fund? Ted Franks says yes
Can listed assets really be called impact investments is a question we often have to answer. It is true that direct investments have a clear advantage in being able to highlight additionality and represent intentionality. However, at WHEB we firmly believe that investing in public companies can still have a positive impact on the environment and society. John Treadgold, an Australian journalist who specialises in impact investing, sustainability and ESG, and WHEB’s fund manager Ted Franks, discuss this issue plus much more in this thoughtful interview.
