Impact investing: make money whilst doing good | Christina Hobbs

Investing is an important way to grow your wealth and set yourself up for financial freedom. But it doesn’t have to stop there. It can also be a tool to give back to causes that you care about. Ever thought that you could micro finance women’s businesses or fund farms that are trying to grow sustainable agriculture practices? Well, it is all possible through impact investing. On today’s episode, we chatted with our first CEO, Christina Hobbs from Verve Super, Australia’s first superfund for women, all about impact investing and the use case for cryptocurrency in developing nations. This conversation is full of experience and perspective as Christina worked with the UN for over ten years where she led or coordinated humanitarian organisations, governments, and the private sector to connect the most vulnerable people in the world to the financial services system. Christina is an advocate for building the financial power of women and is passionate about doing so through impact investing and ensuring that capital is being used to create a better world.
