Beyond the Strategy: The Architecture of Impact

While the "Why" of Gender-Lens Investing (GLI) is well-established now and has gained significant momentum, the industry is now facing a pivotal question: “How” the underlying financial infrastructures, including the fund structuring, fund domiciliation and legal frameworks can support this momentum?

To deliver meaningful, sustainable impact, we must look deeper at the structures that house our capital. How can we build investment vehicles that are not only financially viable but structurally designed to advance gender equality where it matters most?

The Discussion

Our expert panel from Momentus, MEDA, and Dentons will explore how the structuring, domiciliation and initial investments of GLI funds can shape their ability to deliver meaningful and sustainable impact, within an enabling legal framework.

  • The Jurisdictional Lens: How the choice of domiciliation for a fund affects its ability to reach development priorities.

  • Inclusive Transformation: Building the specific vehicles required to facilitate increased fund flow to women-led initiatives and emerging markets. 

  • Legal as a Catalyst: Moving legal frameworks from "compliance hurdles" to "impact enablers”. What has been the “barrier-to-success”?

Thank you to Dentons for sponsoring this event
