AVPN Webinar: Integrating Impact and Financial Returns Across Your Portfolio
Friday, 2 October 2020
9:00 am – 10:30 am SGT
This event is a part of the family office offerings provided by AVPN and is restricted to family offices only. Please email [email protected] for more information.
Financial and impact management methodologies are not designed to be interoperable. Integrating them enables investors to consider the financial, social, and environmental dimensions of their investments in a comprehensive way, enabling them to optimize investment performance across those dimensions, and to communicate this clearly and transparently. Asset managers and owners, from those who seek market rates of financial return to those who are comfortable with less, can use integrated impact and financial data to allocate capital to address urgent social and environmental challenges while achieving their financial goals.
Join this invitation-only session to hear from Mike McCreless, Head of Investor Collaboration at the Impact Management Project (IMP), on the work that the IMP has been doing to bridge these two worlds through developing the Impact Frontiers Collaboration and recently publishing the impact-financial integration Investor Handbook. Katya Levitan-Reiner from Propel Capital, one of the collaborators in developing the framework and a pioneer in this work, will share the value the fund has seen in implementing this methodology.
