In this From the Portfolio video, Veronica explores what it means to invest through a gender lens and why this is not only a social consideration but a financial one too.

Veronica explains how gender lens investing involves intentionally allocating capital to address inequality, by considering how businesses support women as employees, leaders and consumers, and by using investor influence to drive positive change.

She also outlines how investors can access this opportunity across asset classes, from backing gender-diverse businesses to supporting financial inclusion and women’s health. She shares real-world examples, including microfinance initiatives that provide small, targeted loans to women in underserved communities, helping to unlock entrepreneurship and strengthen local economies.
