Investment thesis
The foundation believes business can solve problems in sustainable, scalable ways to improve the lives of the poor and the emerging middle class globally. Rather than deploying only the typical 5-10% of assets annually as most foundations do, it has moved 100% of its assets into impact investments to advance its mission and sustain funding into the future through mission-aligned returns.
