Abstract

An investor in Hong Kong wants to secure her children's economic future. But, she also wants to use her wealth to address the social and environmental challenges she cares about and thereby leave a broader legacy. She becomes convinced that simply giving her money away cannot be the only way she can make a difference. So, she redirects her assets into investments that preserve her wealth and also directly tackle problems of poverty and environmental degradation.
