Social Stock Exchanges

Catalyst for Impact Investing?

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book examines funding platforms for impact investing known as social stock exchanges (SSE) and ways to approach impact investing at regulated traditional exchanges. The book analyses the antecedents and prerequisites for the successful implementation of SSEs. It presents the creation of SSEs as a necessary step towards a more democratic and popular impact investing market, and a way to align the asset search process for investors with capital access for entrepreneurs. It also analyses the installation of impact investing at traditional stock exchanges drawing from Green Bonds and Social Bonds.
The book showcases successful financial structuring, integrating impact into existing financial products. It discusses standalone impact solutions, the status quo of impact investing, social entrepreneurship and the pros and cons of platforms versus the use of traditional stock exchanges for impact investing. It highlights aspects of adjusted portfolio and product structuring, innovation in the context of listing criteria and makes proposals for impact stock listings at platforms and traditional stock exchanges.
