The New Year has started well for the impact investment sector with the news that Nigel Kershaw of Big Issue Invest has received a well deserved OBE in the New Year's Honours List. And he is joined by Fazle Hasan Abed, the founder and Chair of BRAC, who has spent the last four decades working to eradicate poverty in Bangladesh. Both of these inspirational organisations have been highlighted in our featured investments in 2009 and we are honoured and delighted to work with such innovation and dedication.
