The Young Investor Challenge

How to build Textile Waste-to-Value sector EFT Fund from the ground up?

This is an immersive cultural environment to serve as a training environment for the next generation of young investors and high net-worth families to look beyond impact investing and philanthropy in as an investment strategy in African.

Building on the pioneering work of Dambiso Moyo, Dead Aid, ACM-S3 Fund proposes alternative investment strategy that supports family offices to invest in the scaling textile waste-to-value ventures in the African market.

The ACM-S3 fund seeks to scale catalytic mergers and acquisitions that enables cutting-edge circular textile waste ventures to be further developed in partnerships with African textile recyclers

This investment approach drives African inclusion in the global carbon market through tradable scope 3 emission reductions. This solves the fundamental limitations of impact investing and philanthropy, where interventions does not position African economies to be price-setters in the global economies.

This limiting financialisation leaving African economies import-dependent, and does not enable the necessary levers of change to reduce modern slavery risks through compliance, transparent and oversight over supply chains.

Our private members club will be a learning environment to learn how to leverage carbon markets for profitable gender-lens investing that reduces modern slavery risks in informal economies in the second-hand fashion sector by scaling circular textile waste management and waste-to-value consumer markets across Africa.

The core focus is to scale Scope 3 Emissions reductions in the global fashion industry by tokenising the economic activity of textile waste conversions into waste-to-value products.

Under this private membership, the members will learn the best strategies to manage 10% of the ACM-S3 EFT fund (10% equity of UDS as the firm operating the fund) as a collective to embed our novel approach into the investment strategies of Family Offices.

The promise of future equity will be issued to members who fulfil the one-year commitment to the programme.
