Investing for Impact and Growth At Landmark Family Office, we are committed to making a difference through impact investing—balancing financial returns with meaningful social and environmental outcomes. In a recent interview with Stephanie Li for DealStreetAsia, our CEO Cameron Harvey shared his observations on the growing sophistication in local family offices’ pursuit of impact investing, “Allocators are demanding systemic change through thematic strategies and patient capital while engaging in collaborations with other limited partners to de-risk and scale investments. FOs increasingly hire specialized talent, and I have seen a number of newly set-up dedicated impact funds for strategic execution.” While challenges like limited deal flow and co-investment opportunities remain, we continue to focus on innovative solutions such as blended finance and strategic partnerships to drive sustainable growth and long-term impact.

“We fundamentally need a structural mindset change in how we treat the planet and define 'enough.' From a tech pro perspective, coming from a venture fund, it’s frustrating” In a panel about Impact Investment in last year’s Future Horizon event, Nick de la Forge emphasized the need to challenge our current economic models. We must reconsider our relentless pursuit of growth if we believe our current path is sustainable. It's not just about investment returns, it's about securing a sustainable future for our planet. Nick de la Forge is the Co-Founder and General Partner at Planet A Ventures. They support early-stage impact start-ups with funding, mentoring and impact forecasting to advance an economy that serves the people and the planet. How can we balance growth with sustainability and make the uninvestable, investable? #FutureHorizon #ImpactInvesting #SustainableGrowth
