Part II From Global Capital to Local Impact
What does it take to turn an impact investing vision into measurable results?
In Part II of From Global Capital to Local Impact, TriLinc Global Founder and CEO Gloria Nelund continues her conversation with Serge LeVert-Chiasson, Managing Partner and Chief Compliance Officer of Sarona Asset Management, about the discipline behind investing for both financial performance and positive change.
Serge shares how Sarona measures progress across five outcomes: quality jobs, women’s empowerment, reduced environmental footprints, improved governance, and stronger communities. Discover how meaningful data, compelling stories, and constructive feedback help local fund managers strengthen their impact—and help investors understand what their capital makes possible.
The conversation also explores Sarona’s current focus on Southeast Asia and the Pacific, the challenges of investing across emerging markets, and why commercial viability and impact both matter in investment decisions. Gloria and Serge examine barriers to greater institutional participation and the potential for a new generation of investors to align wealth with values.
