About Programme

Sustainable and impact investing is attracting enough capital to start having a meaningful impact on the worlds most pressing problems. Globally, more than 22.8 trillion is invested sustainably, representing more than one dollar for every four dollars under professional management. The rapid pace of recent growth has been driven by a fundamental shift in how investors and asset owners view environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors. As the fastest growing segment of sustainable investing, impact investing is a strategy that modern investors, financial advisors, and money managers need to be well versed in, especially as a new generation of investors clamor for it.

This six-week online program is designed and taught by Bhakti Mirchandani, who teaches an award-winning impact finance course for Columbias Masters in Sustainability Management program and has authored more than 90 articles on sustainable and impact investing.
