The Investments
Calvert
Foundation's Community Investment Notes is
a widely respected high impact, fixed-income
investment. Investment dollars are pooled
and placed in a professionally managed
portfolio of affordable loans to nonprofit
organizations and social
enterprises. The full value of the
principal is lent out. As loans are
repaid, the capital is lent again, multiplying
the social impact of the investments. At
maturity, capital is returned with
interest.
What if we looked at this vehicle with a gender lens? How might that change the investments? The investors?
