Impact on Risk & Return? There is significant theology on both sides of this question Negative Positive A limited universe intrinsically reduces return expectations Environmental & social drivers are material to business New field and managers equals more risk Growing market opportunities (e.g. Clean Tech) You cannot effectively manage to multiple bottom lines Can reduce risk (see BP) and is a sign of strong management 12

Allies conventional and otherwise Other people in this room! Community foundations Strategics/corporates Jobs and community oriented funders 17
Healthcare as employment engine: by the numbers Why healthcare? Cause that s where the jobs are Today: 2020: Growth segments: ACO s, managed care, home health, residential Size of growth: 1.3M home aides, .5M orderlies & clerks, .7M nurses Median wages: $20-30k / year; nurses $65k / year +5.7M jobs (half from growth, half age-out replacement) 16.8M jobs, in 784k companies 18
Three tiers of healthcare business models: Seeking non-fungibility of labor Better jobs = better health = better business +1 Neutral models 0 -1 Negative models abusive to labor 19
Business models as driver of health (or not!) Cost Good Jobs Profit Quality 20
Now that theyre sorted, what to do? Investing approaches by tier Better jobs = better health = better business 1. Develop and scale aligned models for direct impact and demonstration 2. Build market share - Support broader transition to aligned models +1 1. Develop clearer ways to identify better practitioners 2. Build business case for better practice 3. Develop levers to support better practice Neutral models 0 1. Avoid screen out 2. Shine spotlight on negative practice 3. Identify better version of presumed abusive models Abusive models -1 21
Where/how people get stuck Actively stuck: Stakeholder divergence Theology of returns for SRI [negligible financial impact] Concern about competing with grant-making Questions about deal flow Passively stuck Overwhelmed/challenge identifying entry point Question of how sourcing, execution and management 22
Learnings and observations Diversity of ways to use investments to drive impact Context matters your organization and your goals should drive many of the tools and approaches Be proactive in the marketplace drives good practice and multiple returns Use or build your strengths knowledge, networks and capacity you have or want to build Seek, manage and measure what matters thesis driven approach Don t create disincentives Importance of internal leadership Action learning avoid abstract debates Be smart about leveraging partners intermediaries, peer organizations and other allies What to do How you do it How you get started 23
Creating a program: Getting to an investment policy statement Mission Objectives Identify target areas and role of investment capital key impact driver? Complement philanthropy? Support interests more broadly? Financial Parameters Integrate with financial management current assets, anticipated expenditures/inflows, liquidity needs, and risk tolerances Determine the level and nature of involvement of various stakeholders; interests, biases, priorities and concerns Context Objectives Allocations (targets and bands/limits) Investment process Decision-making and governance Financial and mission reporting Investment Policy 24
Observations The context drives the right approach there is no one size fits all approach Thoughtful, deliberate execution is critical to success of any mission investing program Finding a clear entry point is critical you can t answer all of the questions on the drawing board Leveraging/intersecting with existing strong processes can be important Investing is investing it is difficult to do well and takes discipline and care 25
