Our Impact

DWM seeks to provide investors return-first impact investments that achieve risk-adjusted financial returns and positive environmental and social impact in emerging and frontier markets. DWM views achieving this “double bottom line” as critical for mobilizing capital from individual and institutional investors on a sustainable basis. As a core component of this strategy, DWM has developed proprietary tools and processes for evaluating and monitoring the impact of our investments.
