Impact Investing
Date: | 15-Feb-17 to 15-Feb-17 |
Location: | 10 on the Park at Time Warner Center / New York / United States |
Category: | Banking, Finance & Investment Conferences & Trade Fairs |
Once a niche activity exclusive to the wealthy and philanthropic-minded, impact investing is now championed by a growing number of leading institutions in the capital markets.
As a recent G8 taskforce on impact investing predicted, the 20th Century approach to investing, based on risk and return, will be replaced by a 21st Century model built on risk, return and impact. However, such a shift is by no means inevitable with critics questioning the staying power of impact investing in mainstream finance.
Join us on February 15th in New York as editors of The Economist and more than 200 leading financiers, institutional investors, policymakers, academics, impact investors and philanthropists analyse the opportunities and obstacles to the mainstreaming of impact investing. It will be an important conversation: how trillions of dollars will be invested is at stake.
Key questions we will answer:
-How to build impact investment cultures in traditional investment firms.
-Redefining the relationship between impact investing, ethical investing and ESG.
-How to incentivize fund managers and financial advisors to take impact seriously.
-Regulatory changes needed to encourage impact investing.
-Setting the right return expectations for impact investing, both financial and impact.
-Measuring impact in ways that are clear and credible for investors.
-Creating new impact financial products for the mass market.
-Ensuring a full deal pipeline of impact investments to meet rising demand.
Who should attend:
-Diversified financial institutions
-Pension funds
-Foundations
-Insurance companies
-Development finance institutions
-Family offices
-Fund managers
-Individual investors
-Government investors
