As the child-lens investing field grows, so do the opportunities for investors to create positive outcomes for child wellbeing. Thanks to the power of compounding, even small investments in child wellbeing can have a massive impact. Indeed, there may be no greater leverage point for impact than investing in children. In this report, the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN) and Criterion Institute have partnered to highlight the critical opportunities that child-lens investors can unlock by embedding a strong nutrition focus within their work. We explore how implementing an intentional nutrition focus as an investment consideration can bring clarity or new perspectives to investments made within child-lens investing. Investor goals are diverse, and so are the opportunities available to investors in all asset classes to improve child nutrition. We call on investors and those who work with them to do just this: adapt a child-nutrition lens to upgrade their investment-related decisions, leveraging the examples provided here as inspiration.
