Brace For Impact: Can responsible investing create a society that solves it’s own problems?

We’re excited to welcome our second guest of Series Two: long-term philanthropist, banker and social impact investor, Alexander Hoare. From leading the UK's oldest private bank, C. Hoare & Co., to founding Snowball Impact Management, and recently authoring his first book, Impact Banker, which was recently recommended in the FT as revealing "the secret to sustainaing generational wealth", Alexander has been at the forefront of impact investing and bold philanthropy for over 30 years. In this episode we ask: Can Responsible Investing Create A Society That Solves It’s Own Problems? Mary Rose and Martha lift the lid on how impact investing has changed over the last 20 years, advice for families and individuals thinking about getting started in philanthropy, and the 'duty' we all have in leaving the world in better shape than we found it - beyond our lifetime. Listen now for honest opinions and sharp insights from one of the UK’s most thoughtful voices in philanthropy.
