Unlocking gender-smart capital at scale

2X Global is a global membership and field-building organisation for investors, capital providers, and intermediaries working in public and private markets, across both developed and emerging economies.

What we do

We engage our global network through a series of activities that advance intersectional investment agendas, scale the field, shift mindsets, and facilitate capital deployment. These include a series of Communities of Practice, educational forums, shared resources, certification and standards, and deal-sharing platforms.

With the support of our community in 2023, we account for billions in gender lens investments deployed in 2021-2022, facilitate new commitments, and deepen the impact of capital flowing into crucial thematic investment areas.

What we believe

  • Global sustainability and equal opportunity, powered by inclusive, equitable, and gender-smart systems of finance.

  • To equip and engage the full spectrum of investors, intermediaries, and innovators capable of transforming systems of finance through the gender-smart deployment of capital across asset classes and markets.

  • We believe the future of finance demands a fundamental shift in how the world sees gender.

    We exist to shine a light on the benefits of gender-smart investing and its potential to create ripples of positive change in society, and the way it drives business.

    We invite forward-thinking investors, intermediaries, and innovators to commit to making smarter financial decisions.

    The kind where capital markets are leveraged for gender parity – proving that diversity can benefit the bottom line, while making a meaningful difference.

    How? By building expertise. Advancing standards. Shifting markets to unlock equitable capital at scale, across the entire value chain.

    And we do it all because it’s our vision to transform the global finance system for good.

    With a growing community of people in finance whose beliefs and values align with shaping a fairer, more prosperous world; ours is a collective voice to amplify that ambition.

    Together, we champion finance as a route to social change, creating shared value and social impact through investment.

    Now is the time to combine portfolio and purpose. To choose good business sense, that does good for the world. The 2X effect is always win:win.

    This is innovation. This is progress. This is simply smarter investing.

    This is 2X Global.
