🔥Today, we are thrilled to release Ownership Lens Investing: Capitalizing the employee ownership opportunity. This briefing is designed for investors and funders who are looking for effective ways to accelerate the growth of Employee Ownership (EO). 🕶️Ownership lens investing is a growing movement, akin to climate or gender lens investing, that focuses on expanding ownership opportunities of businesses, real estate, and other assets for individuals and households who are disconnected from the asset-building tools that create wealth. The urgency is huge, given our nation’s stubborn wage and wealth gaps, with inequality arguably being one of the great crises of our time. 👩🏭Broad-based employee ownership is a powerful solution to address growing economic inequality. Employee-owned businesses build wealth for workers, have higher financial performance, lower turnover rates, better measures of job quality, are more resilient to economic shocks and, importantly, reduce gender and racial inequality. 🤝We partnered with the Ownership Capital Lab to dive deep into the challenges and opportunities facing Employee Ownership funds. The briefing is informed by in-depth interviews we conducted with the vast majority of funds in the U.S. that are currently operating or being planned, as well as our teams’ past research and experience. ➡️Access the briefing here: https://lnkd.in/g5mdqnEV
