58: The Essence of Capital: Scaling Impact and Legacy

Guest Bio Marcelo Rojas Decut is the Co-Founder & CEO of eCLUB a modern bank for the unbanked in Latin America.  Marcelo has a professional career with over 18 years of senior experience in the financial sector - in retail and corporate banking - as a board member and commercial director in large global banks such as BBVA and Citi Bank focusing on LatAm, particularly Argentina, Paraguay & Uruguay.  He is also an entrepreneur at heart and 10 years ago ventured into new areas including Agro business and the use of innovative technologies to improve the yield and performance of its investments. Since 2017 he is a member of the executive board of CREA - the regional Consortium of Agricultural Innovation. Marcelo is a chartered accountant, with an Executive Post-graduate from the University of Navarra (IESE), a post-graduate degree in Applied Business Management at the California State University, as well as a Masters in Strategic Management from the Universidad de Misiones (UNAM) eCLUB eCLUB is a FinTech company focused on democratizing impact by providing access to financial services in Latin America. eCLUB’s mission is to solve the financial inclusion problem in Latin America. The social mission is to empower the 270 million unbanked people to help unlock Latin America ́s growth potential by giving them access to financial services for the first time. The vision is to become the regional leader. The first target country is Paraguay, given the current opportunities and partnerships available for the faster and more successful delivery of the initial growth plans and impact. Summary How do you help people improve their lives? Research shows that Impact Economics is key, which is driven by financial inclusion and empowerment, since the opportunities for people increase exponentially as their income and financial situation improves. But for this, people first need to be able to access what only a small percentage of the population can - equality so people have the same available to them, but this begins with access.   During this insightful conversation you will have a window open for you … to show you the current situation in Latin America, what needs to be done, what can be done, and who is doing it, and the immense opportunity for Impact Investing. Key Points In the US almost 60% of transactions are done digitally, in Latin America almost 75% of transactions are done in cash. The unbanked are living in an unequal society where people who have the least access to cash have to pay a higher price for financial services. We can help to close the huge gap between those who have access to financial services and those who haven't. eCLUB’s mission is to solve the financial inclusion problem in Latin America. The main focus is to help people have a better life. That is the end goal. Consumers have very few alternatives, most of the banking sector is concentrated in very few banks. And you can see the same story in every country. The sector is dominated by 5 or 6 banks that concentrate 80% of deposits and 80% of the loans.  Due to the lack of competition in the sector, the people have to pay some of the highest interest rates in the world, and some of the highest fees in the world. Yes, because they have no alternative.  The worst is that this way of doing banking has created a big problem, where almost 50% of the middle class and lower-middle-class people don't have access to an account, over 70% of the people don't have access to credit. Banking the unbanked means that simplicity is key in the user experience. “We are not just providing financial services, we are also giving the unbanked tools to improve their financial knowledge to re functionalities that allow people to track their expenses, knowing what they are spending the money.” In Latin America, there is a high level of entrepreneurship.  For small businesses the main barrier to growth is a lack of access to finance and credit. This sector creates 70% of employment in the whole of Latin America. eCLUB’s first market is Paraguay and to reach 1 million people in the next 4 years. They aim to launch in Brazil next!

Update Description

Guest Bio: Audrey Selian currently serves as Director of the Artha Initiative associated with Rianta Capital Zurich and is a team member/advisor to the Halloran Philanthropies. She has been active in the impact investing sector since 2006, and is founder of ArthaPlatform.com, an online impact investment platform that is designed to tackle the economics of due diligence around high impact, small scale SMEs/SGBs.  She has also been a wanna-be techie since 1997. She completed her PhD in technology policy and development and has been thinking about how to intertwine the two ever since. She is passionate about bringing good people together, and proving that investment in good business(es) is one of the keys to best serving the under-served on this planet.  Audrey has a background in management consulting from PricewaterhouseCoopers, and her entrepreneurial experience includes several years spent in business development, marketing and sales at an NSF-funded software start-up called Wireless Grids Corporation.  Artha Impact The Artha Impact team has been working since 2007 as the impact investing arm of Rianta Capital, which is a dedicated advisory to the Singh Family Trust. Through this initiative, they have been running a series of programs designed to invest, catalyze and convene around the promise of supporting meaningful business interventions for impact in India. Today Artha Impact holds a robust portfolio of direct early/growth stage investments and a small handful of impact funds in the country.  Sectors of focus include - but have not been limited to - agriculture, healthcare and livelihoods. Key Points: There is an incredible network of like minded family offices Artha Network platform  help coordinate discovery and create more visibility. “The information about who's doing what and where should not be left to chance, because the opportunity costs are just too high in the event that things go wrong, and things don't happen the right way.” Partnership with Menterra, one of the oldest social enterprise incubator in India. Biosense - last mile health diagnostic service Collaborative learning and action is key to solving the last mile challenge Telecoms & Beer are succeeding in the last mile - the narrative must change to grease the wheels, otherwise we continue to propagate the same exact mentality that is contributing to hundreds of parallel silos. Something that gets people to see a carrot that changes the behaviour where we’re all competing against each other to develop on SDG X. Impact Measurement - we encourage folks that we work with to pick 2 or 3 things that are really tangible and possible to measure Taxonomies - we are trying to keep it simple Partnerships play a crucial role in due diligence - We had 40% of investors reported in the GIIN survey, express willingness to utilize other investor’s due diligence documentation, and that’s a sea change.  Every player has a lot to contribute, technology is amplifying what each and every one of us can do. “Federation and King of the Hill strategies, domination strategies aren’t going to work today. There is too much empowerment at the end notes that is propelled by technology.” “None of us is as smart as all of us.” Time Stamp: [04:22] How do you define sustainable and impact investing?

A graduate in History from Trinity College, Cambridge, he has a Masters in Sustainability Leadership also from Cambridge. He is a qualified chartered accountant and worked as an investment analyst covering utilities. Summary How do you solve the world’s biggest problems? Throw a lot of money at it and hope it goes away? Or does it kick the can and cause even bigger problems? James Arbib from RethinkX describes the work that tackles the most complex issues by breaking it down into the most basic components. The think tank uses the Seba Technology Disruption Framework, which has been used to understand and predict some of the biggest disruptions across several industries. What will be the next disruption to change the world? It might have come from RethinkX. Key points RethinkX is a think tank that analyses and predicts the uncharted waters of industry disruptions. The 5 foundational sectors are all ripe for the next big disruption. Great technological advances are lowering the costs to accessibility. Climate change solutions ARE possible, but we need to commit to certain courses of intentional action. How do we determine ownership for all the world’s greatest issues?

Guest bio Dr. Reinhard Hübner is the Chief Executive Officer at SKION WATER Gmbh and investment manager at SKion. With a background in industrial operations, Dr. Hübner has over 17 years of professional experience, including with an international management consultancy. Since 2010, he has been responsible for the development and management of the investment portfolio in the water technology sector at SKion. Summary Water is the one resource we can’t live without, and for which there is no substitute. Investing in water technology companies is both an entrepreneurial opportunity and opportunity to protect a precious resource that can have the biggest impact in the world. Key points Due to the ubiquitous nature of water, we forget we should be investing in water management technologies for real impact. The technology to clean water is not necessarily unattainable, it can actually be quite simple, but government regulation and centralisation of management prevents accessibility. Adam Smith’s water-diamond paradox continues today. Lack of money/funding is not the issue for water solutions.

Guest Bio - David O’Leary David is a wealth management expert, impact investment professional, public speaker, and writer. David spends his time as Founder & Principal of Kind Wealth, a holistic wealth management practice helping early to mid-career Canadians manage their money in a way that matches their values. (See full BIO at the end of the notes) Summary This is yet another  fascinating episode that covers so many questions: What is the role of a wealth manager? Or an Investment Manager? Or a Financial Planner?  What is the fiduciary duty? And what is the duty of the pension funds and other institutions that are the largest investors in the world?  And from a personal perspective, what are some of the best things the “average” person can do to “vote with their dollar”? Do you have to be a high-stakes, risk-taking investor to make a difference? Or can you be involved from early career stages to shape the future world into a sustainable landscape and impact wealth reality? What is the best intersectionality between advisors and clients? How do we measure impact, the access and the inclusion to products, services and the effect they are having on people, the environment and the returns?  These and so many more topics are covered during this in-depth episode. Enjoy!  Key points The definition of “impact investment” and the spectrum of capital: where or how you want to participate is your personal choice based on your wealth management goals. Somehow, sustainable investment and profit-generation became mutually exclusive, but it doesn’t have to be. The impact of having a theory of change Whatever it’s called, when your approach to wealth management includes using finances to better the world, your investments will be healthier than if you were only trying to get more money with little regard to how profits are generated.

David also produces and hosts The Impact Investing Podcast and is a frequent speaker at conferences and in the media (The Globe & Mail, The Toronto Star, BNN Bloomberg, CNBC Africa, etc.). Previously, David was Managing Director of Origin Capital, the impact investing division of World Vision Canada. Prior to that he co-founded Eden Valley Partners, an advisory practice managing discretionary portfolios and providing financial planning to high net worth Canadians. David spent the first 13 years of his career with Morningstar in both Canada and South Africa in a variety of Director level roles where he specialized in Investment Manager Research. David holds a BA in English Literature from the University of Toronto, an MBA from the Rotman School of Business, the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation, and the Qualified Associate Financial Planner® (QAFP) designation. He is also working toward the Certified Professional Impact Analyst (CPIA) designation at Queens University.  ------- David’s short life story In clichéd fashion, my life was transformed when I met a girl. I know, boy meets girl, how original! But her influence led me to take a six-week sabbatical from my job on Bay Street to spend that time volunteering in Sierra Leone with one of the world’s largest humanitarian organizations. My goal was to learn about how they were using microfinance to help end poverty.  The trip was an emotional roller coaster that left me, at once, angry, sad, inspired, and motivated to do something about the appalling inequality I had witnessed. I didn’t realize it then, but two years later I would move to South Africa. Four years after that, I would quit my job in the institutional investment world and move home to pursue work that I felt could make a bigger social impact. This work included co-founding a traditional financial advisory practice that integrated philanthropy with financial planning for retirement-age Canadians. It also included three years leading the impact investing division of the same INGO I had volunteered with all those years ago in Sierra Leone. During this time, I spent evenings and weekends working to get Kind Wealth off the ground.   I’m passionate about Kind Wealth because during my 20 years of working in financial services, I came to see the underbelly of the industry and the many ways in which it took advantage of clients, the very people it claims to serve. I have also built a deep understanding of how people’s money choices impact the world around us: whether it be decisions about saving, spending, investing, or donating, it all leaves a footprint, for better or worse. I am excited to be building a wealth management practice that actually lives out its values, treats clients fairly, and helps them reach their financial goals in a way they can feel good about.  On a personal note, I am a passionate advocate for equality of all stripes but maintain a particular focus on fighting for gender equality and against wealth inequality. I have a wide set of eclectic and often incongruous interests. In what feels like a lifetime ago, I was a competitive boxer in both Canada and South Africa. As such, I spent a great many hours punching other people in the face. Yet I’ve spent even more time traveling to developing countries trying to understand the root causes of wealth inequality and how I could help tackle it.  In recent years I have been on a quest to simplify my life, be content with less, and stay mindful of the impact my life choices have on the world around us. I am currently working on eating less meat and reducing my family’s consumption by purchasing or bartering for second-hand goods. Oh, and in case you’re wondering, that girl I mentioned at the top of my bio, the one who changed my life, I ended up marrying her and having two strong-willed, socially conscious girls together.  ------- Important: The content shared on this podcast does not constitute a request, offer, recommendation or solicitation of any kind to buy, subscribe, sell or redeem any investment instruments or to perform other such transactions of any kind.

About this episode Flipped interview! When the host becomes the guest, JP Dallmann - who is always shining a light on others’ work - has the spotlight on his mission and work on impact leadership and investing. On this epsiode, JP is interviewed for the Green Leaders Inner Circle. For most people it is very difficult to pinpoint exactly where to start the transition into sustainable and impact investments ... or be able to tell if it is working, particularly with all the moving parts and variables involved. Given the way the markets is evolving, investment trends are headed towards a human need for a sustainability goal. In fact, all investments have impact, good or bad, the key is in having a “net positive impact”. So what are the challenges we are facing to become an impact leader? Where do you want to put your stakes? Do you need special knowledge, or can you start where you are? These and many more questions are discussed and some real insights are shared during this episode.

Highlights The main reasons why people and companies are NOT creating Profit & Impact. The most important thing is to start, improvements can be made along the way. It is still early days, but there are already many solid resources that will help with navigating the impact investment world. Seek out knowledge because “success leaves clues” and if you look hard enough, you will find what you need to propel you forward.

Strategy is a key component, but having the right plan and people around you is paramount.

About this episode What do you do when your desire to change the world seems at odds with capitalism? Sir Tim Smit pulls back the curtains on the perception of a contradictory world that is actually not so contradictory at all. He shares the lessons and mistakes that can transform an organization from ordinary to extraordinary, and it all has to do with mutually beneficial partnerships. “If you can't do the whole job, you could end up doing a lot of damage.” So how do you make sure you can do the whole job? About Sir Tim Smit Sir Timothy Bartel Smit KBE is a Dutch-born British businessman is best known for his achievements in Cornwall and for writing the book The Lost Gardens of Heligan, winner of the 1997 Book of the Year. He and John Nelson restored the gardens, which are now one of the UK’s best loved gardens and named “Garden of the Year” by BBC Countryfile Awards (Mar 2018).   Tim started work as an archaeologist before taking an unexpected leap into the music business, working as both a songwriter and producer receiving seven platinum and gold discs.  Tim is currently the Executive Vice-Chair and Co-founder of the multi award-winning Eden Project in Cornwall. Since its opening in 2001, over 22 million people have come to see a once-sterile pit turned into a cradle of life containing world-class horticulture and startling architecture, symbolic of human endeavour.  He dreamt up and created the Eden Project, near St Austell, an £80 million initiative to build two transparent biomes in an old china clay pit near the village of Bodelva, which is said to have contributed over £1 billion into the Cornish economy. Tim is also Executive Co-Chair for Eden Project International, which aims to have an Eden Project on every habited continent by 2025.  Key points The pandemic has exacerbated but also highlighted and accelerated necessary changes in how we interact with our environment. Long-term partnerships - that are mutually beneficial - are the key to sustained growth and opportunities that can truly make a difference. The Eden Project is more than just building pretty gardens, there are deep, social and philosophical, reasons for why it has been developing scientifically the way it has. The key to upending the status quo when it comes to clean air and water for all is having difficult conversations that really examine why capitalism and moral bankruptcy are falsely equated. Some of the difficult conversations are unintentional consequences of oversimplifying complex issues as “good” or “bad” Sir Tim Smit lists his favourite people and books that discuss intelligent approaches to understanding how the world should work, and how it was working before intervention that was backed by greed and self-interest.  Time stamps [4:18] The social impact of pandemic and lockdowns [12:14] What is the difference between investment and impact investment?
