About

"Impact Investing will reveal itself to be one of the most powerful changes within the asset management industry in the years to come"

(J.P Morgan, 2010)

Are you ready? Do you know what your next profitable move will be? Are you sure that you are getting the best returns possible?

Driven with a commercial goal in mind, this year’s Impact Investing Summit brought together investors from across the financial spectrum including commercial, institutional and private investors as well as the social entrepreneurs and MFIs they invest in. Together, they armed delegates with the tools and knowledge to commit to tomorrow’s most profitable impact investments from water and energy to health and housing.

What did the agenda cover?

• How to effectively capitalize on impact investing: Shell Foundation, water.org and Calvert Foundation help you to uncover the investable opportunities in health, energy, housing and water
• First hands insights on what is worth investing in: Find out where the highest returns can be found, which investments are offering the greatest traction and which impact areas are reaching scale to ensure you are minimising risk
• Understand how to penetrate this market: Which loan products should you explore and what channels can you use? Where are the investable funds and what returns are available? 30 expert speakers answer the questions that are keeping you up at night
• Standardising impact measurement: Too many tools are fighting for their corner in the market. Join the industry discussion that will help determine ONE tool that will monitor social performance, track intended impact and measure reputational exposure. GIIRS, Grassroots Business Fund and the Rockefeller Foundation share their insights
