Launching and Scaling an Impact Fund

(3 Credits)

The United Nations Development Programme estimates that 4 trillion dollars of additional investment is needed to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals by 2030. Closing this financing gap will require successful creation, scaling, and managing of new impact investment funds. This course provides practical knowledge on how to launch, scale and manage a global impact investing fund. Students will learn the essential components of fund structure and operations, which will equip them to launch their own fund, to work at an emerging impact fund, or to finance impact funds through working at Development Finance Institutions and other capital allocators.
