Social Dilemmas

Liquidity Hurdle:
In social investing, converting assets to cash isn’t always a swift process. This commitment requires patience and an understanding of liquidity constraints, emphasizing a long-term investment approach.

Profit Uncertainty:
There’s a real chance that social investments might not always yield profits. The act of juggling social impact and financial returns can sometimes result in financial setbacks. Investors need to be prepared for this possibility.

Impact Challenge:
Despite the best intentions, there are times when social investments don’t yield the expected impact. Achieving tangible, significant change can be elusive, leading to a gap between expectations and reality, and raising questions about the efficacy of the investment.

Help Hurdle:

There are times when the assistance provided to communities through social investments doesn’t measure up. The impact can be limited, raising concerns about whether the investment is justifiable and truly making a difference.

Purpose Puzzle:

In the realm of social investing, aligning capital with a meaningful cause is fundamental. However, there are scenarios where this alignment gets murky. In such cases, investments can drift, not delivering the anticipated financial or social returns, leaving investors questioning the true impact of their contributions.
