Once a niche strategy straddled between sustainable investing and charity, Impact Investing now finds itself firmly on the radar of major institutional investors seeking to allocate capital with the longer term on their minds. However, “Impact” is frequently misunderstood, often making it is difficult to distinguish between the different shades of sustainability it may be associated with.
To shed light on what constitutes impact investing, how it is being identified and measured, NordSIP invites you to a lunch seminar tailored to institutional investors:
IMPACT IN FOCUS
Identify, Integrate & Measure Impact Investments
Together with four experts with an exceptional breadth and depth of knowledge and experience in impact investing, we will focus on answering the following questions:
- From asset selection to engagement – what is impact, what is not?
- Can listed investments really achieve impact?
- Seeing in believing – what kind of results have been achieved?
- Measuring impact – what does research show?
- Where is impact investing heading today?
For any question, please contact your moderator for the event:
