Alexandra Cart comes from a line of savvy investment managers – she is the granddaughter of Peter Peterson, a Blackstone co-founder. She is, however, making a name for herself with Madeira Global, an up-and-coming giant in impact investing, of which she is a co-founder. She is the current Director of Strategic Development, a position she has held since 2012.
Madeira Global is widely considered as a leader in the investment management industry with specialization in strategic advisory and quantitative analytics. Its client base consists of alternative investment managers as well as their limited partners, such as wealthy individuals and foundations, who want to engage in social impact investing activities. It is becoming known for its cost-efficient, results-effective, and client-responsive management of financial resources for better social impact.
As Cart and her co-founders envisioned it, Madeira Global strictly adheres to its mission of effective and efficient alignment of social and financial returns for all of its clients’ portfolios. The firm applies an environmental, social and governance (ESG) framework in its implementation of its clientele’s proprietary investment strategies.
In 2013, Cart was instrumental in launching Madeira Global’s asset management unit, a partnership with Brevet Capital, a New York City-based hedge fund manager. In 2014, she was also instrumental in advising the deployment of more than $100 million in socially responsible investments.
Indeed, Cart is a leader in social impact investments, a personal passion that has its roots in her heritage. She is active in several organizations that align with her thrust at Madeira Global, too.
She is a member of the Young Presidents’ Organization (YPO), Gotham Chapter, since 2013. YPO is an international association of young chief executives who form partnerships among each other for their mutual benefit (i.e., more opportunities for success).
She is also a member of the Young Leaders Circle (YLC) of Milken Institute since 2013. YLC is an association of the best and brightest in finance, business and law as well as technology and entertainment.
