  • "The Conscious Investor" is presented by Nuveen.
    Rekha Unnithan leads Nuveen's impact investing team which oversees nearly $1 billion in assets.
    Unnithan says her investments include affordable housing, microfinance, and investing in technology to lower the cost of remittance for migrant populations.
    She says the biggest misconception about impact investing is that it means giving up returns.

    Interesting! Just came across the term recently, but I currently know of 2 companies that would be a great fit for Impact Investing in and one is actually developing Affordable Housing in California.

      "Intentionally" vague. Everybody knows you can't make money by investing in affordable housing. That defeats the whole point of investing in real restate. Its a scam.

    Interviews like this are primarily going to make impact investing seem like a scam for big portfolios to get more credibility to attract capital. Her housing examples just stated government funded public services, libraries and meals on wheels, what on earth does that have to do with someone being able to afford their house. Disaster.

      Shorting the vix is suicidal. You want to buy vix calls for portfolio insurance. The vix goes up when markets face turmoil.

    True this definitely was a disaster as an explanation and I don't know if anyone else noticed but out of all the people who were renting houses they had them demographically targeted to be a certain color or a certain culture of living LOL I thought that was pretty messed up and pretty segregated, the example they picked of the ones that were having a hard time paying more in rent was two girls and they had a baby if you go back and look in the video you will see that the couple that is in the example is one white girl and one black girl and they are raising a brown baby, talk about creating dysfunction right there

    So her first example of "impact investing" is basically being a landlord, buying up property and collecting rents, while trying to make others believe that they are "doing good". This is a predatory hedge fund buying up physical assets that ordinary people should own, but have been priced out of. hedge funds say.... Let's buy up all the property that poor and the middle class can no longer afford to own and call it "impact investing". Disgusting.

      @@nick7102 Yes that is true but in the beginning the donors/ grant providers (investors) hired smart ass fund managers to make sure that their donations were spent more efficiently and they could bring a self sustaining positive change in the world. Even today if you look closely, "true impact investors" don't care about returns, they just wanna make sure that the cause (business) they invest in becomes self sustainable hence the element of profit is required. When they become assured that the business has become self sustainable, they "shift" the funds to another impact enterprise.
