About the IMT

The ANDE Investment Manager Training is the only course of its kind that provides a comprehensive overview of investing in small and growing businesses. The course is designed both for investment managers who are actively making investments in SGBs and capacity development providers who are working to support entrepreneurs through the investment process.

This five-day course is based largely on actual deals made by ANDE members and is designed to be highly interactive and participatory. It will focus on the social and environmental impact of investing at this level, and how that affects the investment process. It will also focus on both investing in emerging and developing markets and impact investing by incorporating global/regional case studies.

If you are interested in gaining cutting-edge knowledge on investing in early-stage deals in emerging markets from some of the leaders in the field, then this is the course for you!

Who should take this course?

The training is primarily targeted at those who are:

  1. Responsible for investment and portfolio management
  2. Capacity development providers who work closely with investment managers and/or with entrepreneurs seeking investment
  3. Entrepreneurs looking to raise capital
  4. INGOs and other institutions moving into impact investing
  5. Impact investors

The top learning outcomes from the IMT will embrace: 

  1. The elements and processes of being a portfolio manager:  from fund formation to post-investment monitoring and support
  2. Portfolio assembly consistent with investment theme and impact goals
  3. Investment vehicles, valuation, and terms being used by investors in emerging markets
  4. Monitoring cash flow, working capital, and enterprise growth needs
  5. Impact measurement – including gender lens investing, value chain investing, and climate impact
