Social Equity in Action: Signals and Stories

As conversations around inequality, representation, and economic resilience continue to grow, so does the need for capital models designed to serve communities historically excluded from opportunity. ​This quarterly SVX Impact Index podcast-style webinar brings together three fund managers working at the frontlines of equity-focused investing and deploying capital where it’s needed most: BlackTech Capital Fund, Farmties Capital Ltd. Fund, and the Ilu Women's Empowerment Fund by Deetken Impact. ​These are the funds reshaping what equity-focused investing looks like in practice, with stories spanning through areas including: ​Supporting minority-led climate innovators ​Financing African agribusinesses locked out of global markets ​Strengthening the capacity of women and other vulnerable groups to adapt to climate change ​Then, we’ll zoom out to explore the broader signals shaping the sector with expert perspectives. ​Facilitated by Adam Spence and Jessica Vu (SVX), learn the stories behind these funds, the inequities they are working to address, and the broader market signals defining equity-focused investing right now. ​Speakers ​-Bryan Duarte, P.
