Case Study
UK Investment and Advisory Firm
For this boutique investment and advisory firm, sport is an investment class in itself - offering the opportunity to generate attractive returns whilst aligning investors with meaningful outcomes for society.
This includes quantifying positive and negative changes in health, well-being, skills and the economy, while offering flexibility on modelling assumptions and methodological transparency.
Thanks to GIST Impact, this firm is able to show the social, as well as financial, return on investment of different sports events - with one-click drill-down across regions, gender and income level of beneficiaries, as well as mapping to local standards and regulations.
