Episode notes

This 4-in-1 compilation episode is about capital that doesn’t flow on its own. It has to be pushed into places with no pitch decks and no polished management teams. The places where spreadsheets say “too risky,” but the need is obvious to anyone paying attention. This is capital for the common good, yes - but it’s also capital that works. These aren’t grants. These are investments with measurable returns and track records to prove it. In this episode, we revisit conversations with four guests who've built the policies and portfolios to make this kind of capital move. Jenn Pryce, President and CEO of Calvert Impact Capital Jenn describes Calvert Impact Capital as a bridge between retail capital and the places banks won’t go - solar in Sub-Saharan Africa, affordable housing in the U.S., even sovereign bonds too small for Wall Street to care about. With over $2.5 billion raised, their flagship Community Investment Note is accessible for as little as $20. For Jenn, community investing isn’t about beating the market - it’s about redefining it. “We’ve learned the risk isn’t where people think it is,” she says.
