Finance and Accounting Research Seminar - Jessica Jeffers

Jessica Jeffers is coming to the Pearson Teaching Room on Wednesday 11 November for a Finance and Accounting Research Seminar. She's with the University of Exeter Business School, and the session runs from 1:45 pm to 3:30 pm.

Jeffers will be presenting on Impact Investing Types. If you've spent any time around the university's finance and accounting circles, you'll know that's exactly the kind of thing these seminars are built for: a researcher bringing a specific piece of work to the room and walking it through. The talk sits within the business school's regular research series, so it's part of the ongoing academic conversation happening across the department.

As for the subject itself, impact investing is that space where financial returns and social or environmental goals are meant to work together. Jeffers' focus is on the different types of impact investing, so the session will be about breaking down how those different approaches actually look in practice. It's the kind of topic that touches on both the numbers and the broader purpose behind them, and since it's a research seminar, you'll get to hear the thinking behind the work rather than just a summary of the results.

It's a mid-week afternoon slot, so it's one of those things you can drop into during the working day. The session runs from 1:45 pm to 3:30 pm at the Pearson Teaching Room, right here at the University of Exeter.
