Project Overview

Client: Fulcrum Funds, LLC Targeted $100m private equity fund focused on

investments primarily in the healthcare industry Currently fundraising – seeking to offer potential

investors both financial and social return Scope:

Refine methodology and criteria to measure and report on social impact of portfolio companies

Page 4: Fulcrum Funds, LLC Social Impact Assessment Peter Kennedy, Founding Partner

Blended value investment

CSR of the investment management sector Investors increasingly want to invest their values – potential

strategic differentiator for managers One in ten investment dollars in the US is managed in

accordance with some type of social criteria (Social Investment Forum)

Private equity relatively uncharted territory At least 59 funds with assets over $2.6 billion (RISE

project) Arguably a better vehicle for blended value investment

since public company issues are removed

Page 5: Fulcrum Funds, LLC Social Impact Assessment Peter Kennedy, Founding Partner

Social Impact Assessment

Investment managers historically judged only financial performance How well they track an index, what return they

provide If they are going to have social investment criteria

as part of their mandate, it needs to be done in a systematic manner

Desire to quantify social impact Huge challenge defining standards

You’re looking for the Holy Grail!!!

The Quest for the Holy Grail

Page 7: Fulcrum Funds, LLC Social Impact Assessment Peter Kennedy, Founding Partner

SIA Industry Example

Calculate an absolute dollar value of social return on investment Select specific criteria to examine

Company by company basis (specific product impact)

General metrics (environment, job creation, average wage, etc.)

Investment decisions based on social projections Able to monitor social performance

versus projections

Advantages Provides absolute numerical value Removes ambiguity

Disadvantages Doesn’t have impact relative to similar

companies Many assumptions required to make

calculation

SIA Industry Example

Analysis based on demonstrating relatively strong performance Criteria:

Standardize categories of comparison and apply to all companies within a sector

Maintain baseline industry standards to measure against

Advantages Standardizes for all portfolio companies Demonstrates best-in-class versus

individual performance

Disadvantages Does not have absolute dollar value Perhaps less relevant for projected

social impact

Key Insights from Industry Research Identifying specific 2nd bottom line goals is most

important initial step PCV is focused on three specific criteria: capital to underserved geographies, jobs

creation and minority/women-led businesses CalPERS California Initiative Program has the specific goal of investing in

California’s underserved areas

Analysis that shows social impact relative to industry norms and baseline metrics has the most credibility Demonstrating why a portfolio company has superior social potential relative to

peers, not in absolute terms However, sourcing data about private comparables to do a relative analysis will

be a challenge

Quantifying social impact received mixed reviews in terms of value and ability to measure Absolute dollar value versus “score”

Page 12: Fulcrum Funds, LLC Social Impact Assessment Peter Kennedy, Founding Partner

Linking Insights to Fulcrum’s Priorities Fulcrum’s priority is to quantify impact in terms of dollars

Need to communicate with investors Looking for corresponding value to financial return Strong preference for quantitative data

Impact on what? Utilize first insight and identify Fulcrum’s values Create strategic focus on existing core competency or develop a competency Trade offs between impact goals requires clear priorities Universe of potential impact is so broad it is difficult to measure

Sara Olson,SVT Group

“You have to measure what is important to your client, any metric must have meaning for them.”

Brian Dunn, Aquillian Investments

“We have to choose between solar panel companies focused on fair labor standards or focused on toxics recycling. Both are important goals but which matters most to us now?”

Page 13: Fulcrum Funds, LLC Social Impact Assessment Peter Kennedy, Founding Partner

Fulcrum’s Social Impact Focus Fulcrum Fund has identified three main areas to focus the

Social Impact of portfolio companies

Product – the impact product / service

Environmental – sustainable operations

Community – employee practices, donations, etc.

Page 14: Fulcrum Funds, LLC Social Impact Assessment Peter Kennedy, Founding Partner

Measuring Impact on Fulcrum’s Focus Identifying expected results from reaching general goals

Indicators of success Measurable outcomes Baseline comparisons

Deciding on specific metrics Assigning dollar value to each outcome Incorporate Fulcrum’s existing portfolio metrics Linking to established and accepted measurements

“Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.”

Page 15: Fulcrum Funds, LLC Social Impact Assessment Peter Kennedy, Founding Partner

Detailed Metrics Product Impacts

Social value of access to care in previously underserved areas Value of one additional Dr. visit per year Value of availability of medical consultation Value of hospital care being closer (a $ per mile closer calculation) Value of primary physician being closer ($ per mile or $ per increased visit) Value of reducing costs to Medicare Value of in home care v. hospital care

Social value of product impact Increased mobility Social value of longer life Social value of higher quality life Novel products that are increasing quality of life, but also lowering costs short term and long term

Social value created by product after patent period ends – option value potential

Environmental Impacts Reduction in carbon footprint

Use of environmentally sound transportation Increase in recycling/reduction in waste Sustainability of facilities construction and renovation Smart growth land use or redevelopment (infill)

Community Impacts Under employed population employees

Higher quality jobs/higher wages/better benefits than traditionally available Charitable/in-kind donations

Company by company Support for local civic activities

Implementation Guidelines Focus on refining metrics

Envision a “desired state,” and work backward to find the statistics that will support that goal

Constantly monitor and update Unlike financial ROI, SIA will and should continue to evolve

Participate in industry consensus building SVT open source database of criteria being built

3rd party auditor to validate the calculated social impact Especially given the lack of transparency of the private

equity market Including direct conversations with portfolio companies

Page 22: Fulcrum Funds, LLC Social Impact Assessment Peter Kennedy, Founding Partner

Powerful tool Absolute value Accurate cost benefit analysis Accountability

Difficult to implement Endlessly spreading ripples Separating impact from turbulence Non-dollar impacts

One step at a time Many people are working on the problem Creating database of metrics This is the start
