Abstract

Shakespeare would have been thrilled by all the intrigues in this relatively new and emerging financial theatre. All the elements are there to write yet another masterpiece – this time on the rise of King Microfinance, his conquering the world and the subsequent gradual decay of his empire. This case study will describe the struggle of one of the king’s knights – ACTIAM Impact Investing – in enlarging the empire in a way that simultaneously serves the interest of the people and the king’s financiers. So what happened?
