A message from our President and CEO: On this 30th anniversary of the Genocide against the Tutsi of Rwanda, I want to share with all my Rwandan friends and colleagues a message of heartfelt solidarity. I have had the honor of accompanying and humbly supporting Rwanda’s transformation over the last 24 years. I have witnessed first-hand how the country’s leadership, unbowed, made of the calamity of 1994 a new founding moment for their nation. In the years since, they have comprehensively re-written their story and it is an incredibly inspiring one. That challenges remain in the realization of the country’s vision for peace and development after only three decades is comprehensible. It can take several generations to fully overcome the legacies of trauma and grief. When does a commemoration become a celebration of resilience? That will be for the Rwandan people to decide. They can, however, without question, be immensely proud of all they have achieved and hopeful for all the opportunities that lie ahead. On this anniversary, my colleagues at Peaceinvest join me in renewing our commitment to support the country's continued pursuit of peace and prosperity for all its people. In friendship, always, Scott Weber

Strategic investment in agriculture: A path to sustainable returns and global stability In light of the recent United Nations report, it is clear that the global challenge of hunger is intensifying, with significant implications for stability and economic growth worldwide. As investment professionals, we recognize an opportunity to not only generate sustainable returns but also contribute positively to one of the world's most pressing issues. The intersection of global health crises, conflict, and climate change has exacerbated food insecurity, putting the UN's goal of ending hunger by 2030 at risk. This situation presents a unique investment opportunity in agricultural development, a sector vital for global stability and economic resilience. Here is our focus: 1. Investing in Agrifood Systems: There's significant potential in supporting innovations in sustainable farming. Investments in this sector can drive both economic growth and enhance food security. 2. Prioritizing Nutrition and Health: Targeted investments in nutrition-focused initiatives can yield long-term benefits, particularly in emerging markets where the need and growth potential are highest. 3. Enhancing Supply Chain Efficiency: Strengthening food supply chains is not just socially responsible; it's good business. Efficient supply chains can open new markets and improve profitability. 4. Urbanization and Agrifood Demand: Urban growth translates to increased demand for food. Investing in systems that meet this demand sustainably is both a challenge and an opportunity. As leaders in the investment community, we have the power and responsibility to influence positive change. By strategically investing in agriculture, we can contribute to a more stable and prosperous world while also achieving our financial goals.
