Course Learning Objectives

The main goal of this course is to introduce and explore how sustainable finance and impact investing can fund and support impactful solutions. Participants will acquire the knowledge necessary to prepare for a career in sustainable finance and investment.

The course strives to be eminently practical and applicable to a variety of contexts. You are not required to have a background in finance to take the course but the course will build on the core course in sustainable finance.
At the end of the course, students should:
1. Understand the principles of sustainable finance and investment in publicly listed assets
2. Grasp the concept of impact investment and how impact entrepreneurship requires an appropriate type of funding.
3. Develop their competences in terms of defining an impact thesis and how to make investment selections based on that.

Assessment criteria

The grading will be a mix of an assessment of the quality of your group work and your individual performance in class and outside of class (case reports and any other assignments or exercises).

60% Group exercises
40% Individual work (class participation + case study responses)
