Child-Lens Investing

Child-Lens Investing Discussion Paper

The Child-Lens Investing Discussion Paper serves as a central guiding document that investors, asset owners, regulators, standard setters, and other stakeholders may use as a starting point in learning about the child lens.

The paper includes a full framework describing the core principles of the child lens, the case for investment, an analysis of the global market landscape in context of the child lens, and a description of the current and continuously evolving child-lens investment ecosystem.

Child-Lens Investing Investor Toolkit

After reading the Child-Lens Investing Discussion Paper, interested investors can learn more about how to identify as a child-lens investor through this Investor Toolkit. This document will provide helpful case studies of child-aligned investment strategies and will give investors a high-level step-by-step guide to evaluate their own strategies against the child-lens investing framework.

Please see two component tools that can be used in conjunction with the Investor Toolkit:

• Child-Lens Metric Bank
• Child-Lens Due Diligence Questionnaire

This Executive Summary is excerpted from the Discussion Paper and can serve as a starting point or quick reference document for the child-lens investment framework.
