At Deetken Impact we want more Canadians to have access to high quality impact investment opportunities. In addition to the choices we make as consumers, how we choose to invest our savings is one of the most powerful ways we impact the world around us.Our priority is delivering strong, uncorrelated stable returns to our clients. But we differ from other firms in two striking ways:One, our focus is geographic. Our mission is to make a social and environmental impact in the Americas, with a deeper focus on Latin America and the Caribbean, a region which — like other emerging markets — is projected to grow at 2x the rate of advanced economies in the next 5 years. Access to capital is necessary to capture and nurture this growth.Two, we focus our investments on businesses and social enterprises that promote entrepreneurship, provide or improve access to basic services, and have a positive environmental impact. We are not industry specific and we do not champion one social or environmental cause. Rather, we seek-out untapped opportunities for growth in five different sectors that positively impact communities in the Americas:Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) FinancingWomen's empowerment through entrepreneurshipRenewable EnergyAffordable HousingHealthcareOur hands-on approach allows us to provide not only the financial resources that micro, small and medium size businesses in the region need but also the technical assistance required to ensure long-term growth and success. Deetken Impact is a certified B Corp - a growing community of over 2,100 Certified B Corps from 50 countries who have voluntarily chosen to conduct business in a way that creates value for all stakeholders, not just shareholders. And we support the Sustainable Development Goals - we evaluate our investment opportunities and our portfolio companies based on their contributions to those goals. Deetken Impact is a registered fund manager with the BC Securities Commission.
