A New Financial Model That Combines Profitability and Social Responsibility
“Impact Investing can be a powerful instrument of change.”
- Judith Rodin
Global Though LeaderU ntil a few years ago, profitability and concern for society or the environment seemed like incompatible concepts.
At OCTAGON we don’t just invest in companies—we invest in creating new ways for people to earn income. Our strategic investments in the inclusion economy unlock new markets by democratizing access to industries once reserved for the privileged few, creating scalable solutions that deliver both competitive returns and measurable social impact.
What are Impact Investments?
Impact investments aim to benefit society and/or the environment without compromising financial profitability. This is not philanthropy or donations but investments that seek at least a return equal to the capital invested while intentionally, quantifiably, and measurably generating a positive impact on the planet.

Success in Emerging Markets
The financial market already has numerous cases demonstrating that social awareness can also be profitable. Numerous examples exist as the Global financial landscape has changed from traditional forms of banking to digital money, the use of cash has decreased making way for financial inclusion of underbanked communities.
The game of commerce has been traditionally a game of the wealthy, but the tides are changing. New technologies are opening the way for the unbanked to be included in the game. Digital currency platforms have lowered the cost of moving money, new opportunities have been created, and emerging markets are now being assisted as new solutions such as peer-to-peer payments, digital money and accessible e-commerce are becoming the norm.

The central goal for our investments is to take care of them.
