ImpactAlpha is excited to introduce the newest addition of our podcast network: Impact Investing Musings by AVPN, hosted by Vikas Arora and produced with Jacqui Hocking. In this episode, Arora speaks with the Ford Foundation’s Roy Swan and Christine Looney about their work aligning a significant portion of the foundation’s endowment with its core philanthropic mission.
Listeners will gain insights into:
- Roy and Christine’s personal journey applying their years in traditional finance to shift market fundamentals in the endowment world.
- The process inside Ford: how they challenged industry norms by redefining traditional capital in its use for impact investing, paving the way for others to explore similar paths.
- How asset owners can measure success without “analysis paralysis,” by simplifying impact reporting.
