How should an Investment Fund Navigate during Political and Economic Crises

Despite different geographies, some African countries and Ukraine have shared a similar experience with Myanmar in terms of widespread civil unrest, a collapsing economy, and existential threat to many thriving businesses. Under such circumstances, how can responsible investors support existing portfolio companies and their employees?

Given the vital role of responsible investors in the long-term inclusive development of the country, what are the strategies to see through the crises? And what additional considerations need to be taken into account in deciding whether or not to invest in new opportunities during these situations?

Join us on July 7 to hear the success stories of experienced navigators sailing agilely at times of such abrupt changes in wind currents.

Panel

1. Kelley Gasper, Head of Southeast Asia Advisory, CrossBoundary
2. Oguche Agudah, CEO,Pension Funds Operators Association of Nigeria (PENOP)
3. Olga Afanasieva, Honorary Member, Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (UVCA)

This session will be moderated by Robbert Gorenen, Director, Myanmar at One to Watch.
