Christina Alfonso, CEO of Madeira Global, has made use of advanced analytics in order to provide her clients with the metrics they need to be successful impact investors.

Madeira uses large data sets to construct the models that they use, and the size and quality of those data sets are what sets Madeira apart. Their extensive dataset allows them to be able to control for a variety of confounding factors. This, alongside the ability to tailor results to the needs of individual investors, is what makes Madeira's advice so valuable.
