Inside a $5 Billion Mission: How Private Debt & Equity Are Transforming Emerging Markets | Rochus Mommartz, responsAbility (#058)
Manage episode 444193128 series 3368148
Welcome back to the second part of the interview with Rochus Mommartz, the visionary CEO of responsAbility and a true impact warrior.
With his specialized impact asset management house, Rochus is on a mission to create accessible opportunities for all, focusing on sectors that touch on the core needs of underserved populations – sustainable agriculture, climate finance, and financial inclusion.
Today, responsAbility manages $5 billion in assets, directing its investments into the private markets of emerging economies where traditional financial services are either nonexistent or insufficient. Its portfolio covers more than 70 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Eastern Europe.
In this episode, we dive deeper into responsAbility's investment strategy, which channels over 95% of its assets into private debt and private equity.
In its mission, responsAbility prioritizes impactful outcomes. But achieving attractive financial returns remains equally important. With this dual focus, they meet investor expectations and continue to generate growth and positive impacts in the sectors they serve.
Join us as Rochus explains responsAbility's investment process, the impact measurement techniques they employ, and the operational challenges they face in diverse and complex markets.
Tune in to learn more about how strategic private market investments can drive significant social and economic progress worldwide, while also delivering strong financial returns.
