Sustainable investing in wealth management expert | ESG, impact, active ownership, digital tools | 👉 I help institutions and investors maximise positive social and environmental change through their investments

Looking Forward to speaking at BNP Paribas AM event in Rome this evening on impact investing 🌳 While the Center for Sustainable Finance and Private Wealth has traditionally focused on private investors, it's an incredible opportunity to speak to institutional investors thinking about integrating impact investing into their strategy. We need all forms of capital to contribute to solve our social and planetary problems and with so much capital in institutions its crucial we leverage it effectively. A few thoughts I had while developing my talk: 1. Institutional investors are inherently long term and able to stay in their investment strategy, especially during market turbulence which can often throw private investors. Long term committed capital is necessary to solve long term challenges. 2. Institutional investors are quantitatively driven both on returns as well as in their capacity to evaluate impact measurement and monitoring. We know from our study "do investors care about impact" private investors can be emotionally driven to seek a warm glow sometimes at the expense of maximising impact 3. Institutional investors can handle big ticket sizes with small % allocations of their portfolio. With PE firms such as TPG and KKR developing impact products and legitimizing the space many asset managers have followed suit to develop attractive impact products suitable for impact investors, not to mention blended finance which requires the deal making skills and long term perspective of institutional investors. 4. Insitutional investors may not be the trailblazers private impact investors can be but these large tankers of the investing seas can be smart followers and provide the necessary lift-off for many impact opportunities.
