In this episode of Turbo Impact, Serge LeVert-Chiasson, Managing Partner at Sarona Asset Management, joins host Kenny Chen to examine why emerging markets should be viewed not only through risk, but also through growth, resilience, and inclusion. In these markets, disciplined impact investing can strengthen returns by reducing environmental, social, and governance risks, improving business performance, and expanding future exit opportunities.
The central constraint for global investors is not a lack of opportunity, but the trusted investment infrastructure needed to access it. Through its fund-of-funds model, Sarona connects global capital with local managers who bring the networks, judgment, and execution capabilities these markets require. The next phase of impact investing will depend on strengthening those local ecosystems and building credible pathways for a new generation of capital to participate.
