Book Synopsis Impact Investment Funds for Frontier Markets in Southeast Asia by : Manuel Stagars
Download or read book Impact Investment Funds for Frontier Markets in Southeast Asia written by Manuel Stagars and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-28 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until now, most socially responsible and impact investments have centred on developed markets, with growth potential and investment opportunities in the frontier economies of countries such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, and Vietnam being mostly overlooked. While some individuals and organizations have begun to develop responsible investment opportunities with these countries in mind, large new sources of capital for development could still emerge. This book explores the greater potential for global investment in Southeast Asia, and the ways in which socially responsible investment styles can be used in their developing economies. It demonstrates how the benefits of investment could create a robust platform for separate stakeholders, including governments, non-governmental organizations, development banks, the financial sector, and small and medium sized enterprises. The author explores how shaping collaborative sustainable investment policies could speed up inclusive development, address the needs of those at the bottom of the pyramid, and ensure sustainable future growth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investors are increasingly integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues into their investment decisions.

This book aims to contribute to developing a framework for future analysis and monitoring to ensure the growth of ESG investment.
