Our History: Founded in 2017, the IESE Impact Fund (formerly known as “IESE For Impact Community” or “IFIC”) is an impact investment vehicle managed by IESE MBA students. The Fund was initially established for three primary reasons:
Impact: supporting businesses driven by an aim to positively impact society
Learning: providing hands-on and valuable experience for IESE MBA students
IESE Mission: putting IESE’s mission into practice—to develop leaders who strive to have a deep, positive and lasting impact on people, companies and society through professional excellence, integrity and a spirit of service
TEAM:
Day-to-day operations of the Fund are managed by the executive committee, which consists of 16 current IESE MBA students. Given the annual turnover in the executive committee, the Fund also maintains an advisory board consisting of IESE faculty. Investment decisions are made by the investment committee, a group of six individuals drawn from the executive committee, advisory board, and outside independent members.
