The June edition of The Alternative Investor is out.
This month’s edition explores impact investing and considers whether a market once viewed as a niche allocation is now entering the mainstream.
Contributions include:
- Chris Wehbé, Lendable, argues that impact goes mainstream only when it stops asking allocators to make concessions, with structured impact credit offering commercial returns, downside protection and real-economy exposure.
- Marie Anna Bénard, Saison International, examines why impact discipline must go beyond capital deployment, drawing on financial inclusion, emerging-market lending and the importance of accountability.
- Huma Yusuf, British International Investment, makes the case for DFIs as market architects, using blended finance, guarantees and risk-sharing structures to mobilise private capital.
- Charlie Sichel, FLS Group, explores the next phase of climate investing, where carbon removals and nature-based solutions will be judged by evidence, durability and measurable performance.
The edition also offers insights across the alternative investment landscape and concludes with RQC Group’s usual regulatory roundup which highlights key developments in the UK and US.
