"The Conscious Investor" is presented by Nuveen.

Rekha Unnithan leads Nuveen's impact investing team which oversees nearly $1 billion in assets.

Unnithan says her investments include affordable housing, microfinance, and investing in technology to lower the cost of remittance for migrant populations.

She says the biggest misconception about impact investing is that it means giving up returns.
