How can you align your values and money and invest in social enterprises that truly make an impact? Eva Yazhari is the CEO of Beyond Capital, an impact investment fund that invests in for-profit social enterprises throughout India and East Africa.
They invest in businesses that are focused on greater access to health care, water, sanitation and energy, as well as food security and financial inclusion, which can increase the quality of life and standard of living for consumers at the bottom of the pyramid. Though they seek market rate financial returns, Beyond Capital is structured as a non-profit, which permits them to emphasize fidelity to their social mission alongside their financial mandate.
Eva Yazhari is also the co-host of the Beyond Capital Podcast, and Founder of the online magazine, The Conscious Investor. Throughout her fifteen-year career, Eva Yazhari has worked in the impact investment, finance, and asset management industries. She’s an angel investor and a proponent of the 100 percent Impact Portfolio approach.
