Impact Investment Summit Asia Pacific, 2018 | Impact Investment Summit Asia Pacific | 7 November 2018 | InterContinental Sydney, 117 Macquarie St, Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

Why Impact Investment, And Why A Summit?

This Summit sits at the beating heart of Asia Pacific's investment community. Impact investing is fuelling the rapid rise of finance as a force for good. It's a global trend that the Asia Pacific region has both an opportunity and imperative to understand and embrace.

Impact investing is defined as the growing field of investment that intentionally creates positive social impact alongside financial return, and measures both.

This new way of doing business is emerging with momentum and scale, with increasing numbers of investors harnessing the power of capital markets to deliver social and environmental outcomes. Drawing attention from the world’s leading economies, the market for impact investing is estimated to reach A$32 billion in Australia, and US$500 billion - $1 trillion globally over the next decade.

Our purpose is to be the catalyst and champion for impact investment in the region. We work with key partners, grow the sector and demonstrate how 20th century capital market dimensions of ‘risk’ and ‘return’ are now expanding to include social and environmental impact.

Who Attends The Summit?

• Institutional: asset managers, superannuation and endowment funds, foundations – and partners in the quest.
• Private: high net worth individual and family trusts/foundations, family offices
• Influencers: government, academia and the media.
• Social Business, enterprise, not for profits: investment ready and en route to investment ready
