Finance Matters Happy Hour: 27th January with Main Street Partners

Join us for our first happy hour of the year with Rodolfo Fracassi, Main Street Partners.

When: Tuesday 27th January, 7:30pm at House of St. Barnabas, Soho

The first Happy Hour of 2015 brings Rodolfo Fracassi, Main Street Partners to host the evening's discussion.

Main Street Partners is an independent advisory firm helping institutional investors and private banks figure out how to effectively deploy capital in impact investing strategies to achieve their targeted mix of social, environmental, and financial returns.

After talking about his direct experience of impact investing to date, Rodolfo will be engaging the audience with questions around the key threats and opportunities the sector is currently facing. Expect a lively debate and some unique insights.

We're excited to be back at House of St. Barnabas, where we hosted our first FM Debate last year. House of St. Barnabas is a members' club and a charity in a great location in the middle of Soho. Their fees go toward helping to reduce homelessness in London through job training and support.

With drinks on hand, we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday the 27th.
