Expanding Impact Funds Calvert Impact recently launched the Access by Calvert Impact platform, backed by a $140 million warehouse credit facility from Goldman Sachs Alternatives, indicating a strong focus on facilitating small business growth and community development. This presents an opportunity to offer tailored financial products or supplementary services that enhance their impact investing initiatives.
Sustainable Investment Focus With their recent 'Cut Carbon' bond raising $30 million to fund energy-efficient projects, Calvert Impact demonstrates a commitment to green finance and climate solutions, making them a prime candidate for partnership or investment in innovative sustainability offerings.
Strategic Partnerships Their collaboration with Elizabeth Park Capital Management on minority and community development financial institutions reflects an openness to strategic alliances. Engaging in co-investments or providing specialized advisory services could align well with their mission-driven investment approach.
Educational Outreach The release of 'Impact Investing: A Short Guide for Financial Advisors' shows a commitment to educating financial professionals about impact investing. This creates an opportunity to provide training programs, content, or technology platforms that support their educational initiatives and expand impact investing adoption.
Growth and Innovation Calvert Impact’s consistent news of launching new programs and reports, such as their 2023 Impact Report, indicates an organizational focus on demonstrating and scaling their impact. Targeted solutions that assist with reporting, measurement, or branding could help enhance their mission and stakeholder engagement.
