Beyond the JP Morgan Report
By: Kevin JonesWhat's next for the JP Morgan team whose report, Impact Investments: An Emerging Asset Class, - co-written with Antony Bugg-Levine's team at Rockefeller - both sized and defined one part of the Social Capital Market? "What makes sense is to continue helping build the market by coming out with additional research, more detailed market segmentation, a deeper dive into (social and financial) returns and broaden the universe of places where we are gathering return data and can assess expected risk," said Tone Rosingholm, who leads the European JP Morgan team. >>>Read More |
Bridging Knowledge Gaps in Social Capital Markets By: Ajaita ShahThe social capital space is changing for the positive in many ways, especially because of forums like SOCAP which bring hundreds of thinkers and doers together to understand trends, nuances, opportunities, and challenges within this space. As a social entrepreneur, it was and is the best way to meet anyone and everyone in this space. SOCAP reminded us that networking, and ideas exchanges are essential to increase our momentum to make things happen. So, how do we keep this momentum alive? How can we take lessons learned from each other and move forward? How can we link capital with action? Let's create more exchanges, let's fill knowledge gaps, and let's keep making things happen. >>>Read More |
SOCAP Energy Serves as Indicator of the Sector By: Anshula ChowdhuryI've come to see that the energy of SOCAP is a good indicator of this sector, so I was pleased to sense a maturation of the conversation at SOCAP/Europe. No one seems to want to talk about abstract concepts at the conference. This is similar to a trend I've seen in my own work, people want to see the equations behind our measurements more and more, which is a sign (to me) that people are moving beyond the euphoria of the idea towards the hard-nosed mindset of the implementation. >>>Read More |
Capital is Fuel in the Social Capital Market By: Kevin JonesCapital is fuel for changing the world in the social capital market. Do-gooders often upon capitalism with horror as a wild force of nature. But capital is not untameable: it is a tool that we created, and that can be put back under our control. To paraphrase the proverb: the past decade has shown us that those who seek money without meaning are dangerous, but those who seek meaning without capital are limited in their ability to scale. The social capital market, at the intersection of money and meaning, seeks both. And that's where the juice is. The social capital market looks at value across asset classes and we are finding that impact lives in the commons, not on the balance sheet or even in our impact metrics, which are both only single inputs into a much more complex system. In words that Jed Emerson said a long time ago, what we want is value; and we are willing to pay for, or invest in, or give to, things that provide value. We define value through both relational and financial lenses. >>>Read More |
