  How AI is transforming emerging markets impact

  Sep 9, 202625 min

  At last year's GIIN Impact forum , LeapFrog Investments founder Andy Kuper compared artificial intelligence with the domestication of fire, the invention of farming and the French Revolution in its capacity to grant people agency over their own lives. Kuper is one of the most recognisable names in impact investing. He founded LeapFrog in 2007 to make investments that unite profit with purpose; companies the firm has invested in have reached 622 million people, of whom 460 million are emerging consumers. LeapFrog now works with large institutions such as Temasek, Prudential and AIA to deploy impact capital in emerging markets. In this episode, we explore how the rapid integration of AI is transforming the markets in which LeapFrog operates. Consumers in developing markets, Kuper notes, are far more optimistic about AI than those in the West, and perhaps with good reason: companies in LeapFrog's portfolio are already leveraging AI to deliver better products to consumers. Beyond AI, Kuper explains how strong governance and sustainability credentials in the firm's portcos generate a "LeapFrog premium" on exits, and he offers advice on how investors new to emerging markets impact can start to build exposure.

  Going deep on physical climate risk

  Aug 18, 202633 min

  Given the scorching temperatures much of Europe has been facing this summer, it's not surprising that physical climate risk is high on the agenda for many investors. But actually getting to grips with the topic remains an ongoing process. In this episode, we speak to Nicolas Schneider, senior research engineer and macroeconomist at EDHEC Climate Institute. Earlier this year, EDHEC launched EDHEC-CLIRMAP (EDHEC-Climate-Induced Regional Macroimpacts Projector), an interactive tool that helps investors understand how specific regions will be affected economically under various warming scenarios. Find more information on it here . Schneider visited PEI Group's London office during London Climate Action Week in June for a conversation NPM‘s Toby Mitchenall. In addition to discussing CLIRMAP in more detail, Schneider covers a range of issues important for investors, including: Why markets are currently mispricing physical climate risk, and how that risk feeds into asset valuations. The crucial distinction between headline-grabbing acute events and the "elephant in the room" of chronic, compounding climate risk. The scale of projected GDP losses under a 3°C scenario and what it means for large institutional portfolios.

  Jul 20, 202612 min

  In this bonus episode, we get taken inside the ACP OeEB Climate Impact Fund , a climate-focused fund of funds targeting private equity and infrastructure strategies in emerging markets. Hannes Manndorff is managing director at Austrian development finance institution Oesterreichische Entwicklungsbank (OeEB) , which is currently deploying (and raising additional third-party capital for) its emerging markets impact strategy. In a conversation recorded on the sidelines of the Impact Investor Global Summit earlier this year, Manndorff talks us through the strategy, including the target returns, investment pace, co-investment appetite and geographical remit of the fund. He also tells us what OeEB looks for in a GP and what red flags will cause it to back away from a commitment.

  ResponsAbility's CEO wants global allocators to 'go Dutch'

  Jul 14, 20269 min

  Bonus! In this short bonus episode of The New Private Markets Podcast , we bring you a conversation with Nadia Nikolova, the chief executive officer of ResponsAbility Investments. Nikolova was formerly head of direct lending at Allianz Global Investors and, in September last year, became CEO of ResponsAbility, which is the emerging markets impact-focused subsidiary of M&G Investments. This is another conversation from the sidelines of the Impact Investor Global Summit , which took place in London in May this year. At the event, Nikolova made an on-stage plea to allocators to emulate the Dutch model, and indicate to the market that they are willing to invest 10 percent of their assets into impact. "We don't have a capital problem; we have a capital allocation problem," she said. "Indicate you are willing to allocate, and then the products will be there." Nikolov also describes how institutional investors are increasingly interested in emerging markets debt exposure. "Many...have realised they are structurally over-allocated to the US, and structurally under-allocated to emerging markets," she said. Join us live! We are hosting a live webcast on July 29 to discuss the Impact 75.
