Excursions

CSP's Impact Investing Excursions are designed for current and future private impact investors. They provide insight into the realities of local entrepreneurial landscapes, an opportunity to meet potentially interesting investees, and a truly immersive, hands-on, and fun experience of impact investing on the ground.

During the trips, we speak about the role of sustainable finance broadly going beyond impact investing in frontier markets. In addition to looking at sustainable investing as an approach, we dive into the practical question of how to strategically integrate sustainability across all asset classes within large portfolios. As such, our trips build upon the core learnings of the Impact Investing for the Next Generation program that CSP runs annually with the Initiative for Responsible Investment at the Harvard Kennedy School.
