KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 23 (Bernama) -- Y Analytics, a new and independent organisation, has been launched to drive increased and more effective investment in creating social and environmental good by equipping capital allocators with the research basis to effectively understand the impact of their decisions.
An outgrowth of The Rise Fund, Y Analytics – headquartered in Washington, D.C. and led by its chief executive officer (CEO) Maryanne Hancock – will help bridge the divide between the research community and capital allocators.
“Y Analytics is built on the premise of learning from their work, utilising research to understand what creates impact, building effective tools to predict, underwrite, and manage it, and sharing that work with others to drive better decision-making,” said Hancock in a statement.
Co-founder and CEO of The Rise Fund, Bill McGlashan added Y Analytics will help inform capital in pursuit of change, ensuring that every dollar is used most effectively and providing a common language to pursue positive impact.
Building on the work of The Rise Fund – in partnership with Bridgespan and KPMG – and staffed by a team of economists and researchers, Y Analytics will seek to translate research to help decision-makers evaluate impact at the front-end of the capital allocation process and manage impact rigorously thereafter.
Y Analytics will partner with and serve a variety of organisations and industries over time. It will also collaborate with other organisations working creatively and share its learnings to help advance knowledge in the field.
