The PBII Forum runs quarterly events which are open to all members and this session included a wide range of participants including pension fund trustees, executives, asset managers, legal, actuarial and investment advisers.

For this event, we were delighted to welcome our new partner in the Place Based Impact Investing Forum – the Impact Investing Institute.

Charlotte O’Leary, CEO of Pensions for Purpose, hosted a panel discussion including representatives from the Impact Investing Institute and various asset owners including Local Government Pension Schemes (Clwyd), a DC MasterTrust (Cushon) and Phoenix Asset Management representing the asset manager and insurer perspective. The panel discussion focused on how different asset owners can invest to achieve a local economic, environmental and social impact in the UK and what support may be needed.

The presentation was followed by breakout sessions to discuss individual challenges and solutions. This was followed by a final Q&A session facilitated by our forum sponsors Triple Point and Legal & General.
