  • Transparency Report 2013-14 V02.Indd
    RI TRANSPARENCY REPOR T 2020 Iona Capital Limited An investor initiative in partnership with UNEP Finance Initiative and UN Global Compact About this report The PRI Reporting Framework is a key step in the journey towards building a common language and industry standard for reporting responsible investment (RI) activities. This RI Transparency Report is one of the key outputs of this Framework. Its primary objective is to enable signatory transparency on RI activities and facilitate dialogue between investors and their clients, beneficiaries and other stakeholders. A copy of this report will be publicly disclosed for all reporting signatories on the PRI website, ensuring accountability of the PRI Initiative and its signatories. This report is an export of the individual Signatory organisation’s response to the PRI during the 2020 reporting cycle. It includes their responses to mandatory indicators, as well as responses to voluntary indicators the signatory has agreed to make public. The information is presented exactly as it was reported. Where an indicator offers a response option that is multiple-choice, all options that were available to the signatory to select are presented in this report. Presenting the information exactly as reported is a result of signatory feedback which suggested the PRI not summarise the information. As a result, the reports can be extensive. However, to help easily locate information, there is a Principles index which highlights where the information can be found and summarises the indicators that signatories complete and disclose. Understanding the Principles Index The Principles Index summarises the response status for the individual indicators and modules and shows how these relate to the six Principles for Responsible Investment.

  • Evaluation of Motivation in Crowdfunding – a Study of the Reasons for Accredited Investors to Use Equity- Based Platforms in Order to Fund Start-Ups
    Master’s Thesis – MSc. In Economics & Business Administration Evaluation of motivation in crowdfunding – A study of the reasons for accredited investors to use equity- based platforms in order to fund start-ups Author: Michele Bianchini Supervisor: Olaf Thiele Hand-in Date: 13th of May, 2016 Number of pages and characters: 80 pages, 158,339 characters (excl. front page, table of contents and references) Copenhagen Business School, 2016 1 2 Abstract Crowdfunding has demonstrated to be an efficient way to attract capitals for any kind of project. In addition, thanks to the advent of equity-based platforms, the funding gap issue faced by start-ups and SMEs can be easily solved. Nevertheless, accredited investors – Banks, Venture Capitalists, and Business Angels – have not already shown any particular interest toward crowdfunding, as they do not directly invest in entrepreneurial project through equity-crowdfunding platforms. Thus, the thesis aims to evaluate the underlying motivations for accredited investors to use equity-based platforms in order to fund start-ups. To do that, it has been selected a motivational framework called Self- Determination Theory, developed by Ryan and Deci. The framework identifies two different typologies of motivation: extrinsic and intrinsic. The latter refers to performing a task because it is inherently interesting, satisfying or enjoyable, while the former refers to doing something because it leads to a separable outcome. Moreover, Self- Determination Theory, within extrinsic motivation, distinguish four motivation “stages”: External Regulation, Introjection, Identification, and Integration. Amotivation, instead, is the state characterized by the individual’s lack of intention to act. Then, in the third section of the thesis, the SDT framework has been applied to the case of accredited investors, in order to understand how extrinsically and intrinsically motivated task about crowdfunding work in relation to their business model.
