• Provide the world’s Investors with a technology platform that will allow them to track (and visually see) where their capital is deployed...as it “flows downstream” through the world-wide network of “Intermediaries” (structured products, private equity funds, hedge funds, money managers, portfolio companies etc...).
• Increase the transparency and accountability of the “chain of title” of Investor’s capital.
The problem is... the further “downstream” the capital gets from the original Investor... the less transparency and accountability there is to the Investor.
• An Investor buys into a fund managed by a well respected Wall Street firm.
• That Wall Street firm then makes multiple allocations/investments into companies and other financial products.
• “Down the line” ...the Investor's capital ends up getting deployed into Countries and/or industries that the Investor does not agree with.
The reality is, that the farther away the money gets from the Investor, the greater the loss of transparency and accountability.
Investors are busy...and there are few, if any, effective tools for them to ensure that their capital is working in a way that aligns with their goals and values.
Investors deserve the right (and ability) to track where their money is going... and to terminate relationships with those who would allow their capital to be used is a way that is contrary to their goals and values.
The Platform will be purpose-built for use by the world’s Investors to track their capital as it flows downstream (and around the world) through the global network of financial Intermediaries.
Investors will finally be able to easily see and track the impact of their capital down to the last dollar... and “course correct” should any Intermediary not invest in a way that aligns with the Investor's goals and values.
Bright Light’s goal is to facilitate a new industry standard for transparency and accountability... Investors will be able to clearly see and easily track the flow of their capital across the globe.
Our belief is that investment / capital deployment decisions made by money managers must be clearly visible to their Investors.
