Key Questions for Underwriting Gender Equity

From Calvert Impact Capital. This framework is built from Calvert’s experience as a lender, and highlights some basic questions that can be asked during the underwriting process. The framework is not an exact replica of Calvert’s processes and is not comprehensive. It’s meant to serve as an example, offering basic questions that can be a starting point for incorporating gender into an investment selection process. Questions must be refined and adapted based on experience and depending on the deal being reviewed.
