what our investors are saying
PAUL K.
Ontario, Canada
“What attracted me to Deetken Impact is their focus on and experience with financial services for low income people, an area I know well as a former institutional equity portfolio manager in emerging markets. It enables strong social outcomes and fosters entrepreneurship, especially among women, in developing countries. The sourcing and structuring of their investments is also sound; as thoughtful lenders and partners, they can generate a good return with low downside risk. The whole package – social impact, good returns, and managers with the right mindset and background – was quite appealing.”
MINA W.
British Columbia, Canada
“For years I had been interested in learning about organizations who lended directly to women who didn’t have access to credit because it is a great way to empower them to have a better life and help their families, plus they have a great record for paying back. I was excited to learn about what Deetken Impact does. And I decided to invest in their fund because I can help empower women through Deetken Impact and get a good return at the same time.”
ALBERT T.

“As a Canadian investor pursuing strong financial returns coupled with social impact in developing countries, Deetken Impact provided a great option to add to my portfolio. Alexa and the team have been great to work with and have shown great understanding of investing in emerging markets”
