Intro to Impact Investing

Course details

This course will teach you the basics of impact investing, including a fully developed understanding of what it is and how you can start doing it. You do not need a financial background or a college degree to take this course.

The course should take about 30 minutes to complete and when you're done, you should be ready to actually make an impact investment, allowing you to start earning a financial return while doing good with your money.

The course is comprised primarily of videos that will help you to understand all of the basic concepts. The course will not use much talking head video, instead you'll see the ideas presented on screen in words, charts and graphs. You'll see as little of me as I can get away with!

The course has three sections. The first will define what impact investing is and, importantly, what it is not, along with some simple, real world examples. The second will provide instructions for making your first, simple impact investment. Finally, the third will explain how you can begin evaluating higher risk impact investments that have the potential to make a bigger impact while possibly earning you a higher financial return.
