Generally, traditional investments do not prioritise social impact, whereas philanthropic efforts and their emphasis on positive footprint often neglect scale and financial sustainability. This is why, in its ventures, Adequita looks for impact investing initiatives to unify profitability and social well-being, where potential opportunities offer attractive returns and drive positive change for the greater population.
Global Connect Initiative
Valuing Changes in the Applied Discount Rate for Investing in Emerging Economies
As part of Adequita’s commitment to make an impact in those communities where our activity takes place, in 2016, Xavier Adserà participated in the Global Connect Initiative organised by the White House in collaboration with the U.S. Department of State. At the Summit in Washington D.C., Xavier presented his theory of the Discount Rate Sensitivity analysis for Social Impact Investments in Emerging Economies.
To summarise, we can quantify the relation between the decrease of the investor’s required return and the equivalent amount devoted to social initiatives – projects with inherently low cash flow variations (i.e. infrastructure development) in high growth environments (i.e. emerging markets) exhibit the highest value sensitivity to changes in the required rate of return.
