Leading Seattle and Philadelphia asset management firm the Threshold Group advises taking the long-term view and pursuing economic revitalization approaches in the new US administration of Trump.

While many in the impact investing community have been decrying the advent of Donald Trump as our 45th President, we have taken a few days to reflect on what this means for the impact investing sector. Many have expressed their expected gloom and dismay at the President-elect’s position on issues that impact investors hold so dear – including women’s rights or climate change to name a few.
So we asked ourselves this question: what are the potential implications of this election outcome on the sector of impact investing? And, what can we do? While many questions remain unanswered regarding how the regulatory environment might affect progress on environmental and social issues, we feel confident in proposing two general approaches for impact investors to consider: local economic revitalization and taking the long-term view.
