Impact Investor Forum 2021 | PEI - Alternative Insight | 24 May 2021 | Virtual Event

The Impact Investor Forum will be taking place virtually for the first time in May and will mobilise private market institutions to engage with the burgeoning impact investment movement.

Hear from industry leaders creating scalable, positive change and explore how you can implement impact principles and methodologies into your portfolio to create greater value.

Join over 300 attendees from specialist impact fund managers, general asset managers and institutional investors for two days of networking at the must-attend event for impact investment professionals.

The event platform will provide extensive opportunities to network virtually. Connect with peers through one-to-one meetings, group discussions, build relationships and exchange best practices in delivering impact performance and discuss how to overcome the unique challenges to investment models in private equity, real estate, infrastructure and private debt.

• Get your data strategy right - Data is central to impact performance. Learn what measurement frameworks leading funds are using to guide their investor reporting and KPIs for portfolio companies.

• Scale impact - Hear first-hand insight on how fund managers are formulating their strategy to deliver scaled impact and what this means in practice for staffing, opportunity selection, due diligence and more.

• Investor insights - Get a view across the investor spectrum, from mission-driven endowments, pension funds, insurance and sovereign wealth. Understand what matters most to them and how to align with their risk, return and impact expectations.
