This online roundtable was designed for allocators in private markets who are keen to integrate impact investing principles into their private equity and private debt portfolios.
Private markets offer opportunities to generate strong financial returns alongside diversification benefits, while also actively contributing to positive social and environmental outcomes. However, constructing a private market impact portfolio and then measuring its impact can be challenging, particularly where data is unavailable.
This session provided a comprehensive guide on how to effectively use impact frameworks to measure, manage and maximise impact, including considerations such as biodiversity.
LGT Capital Partners talked through best practices in impact measurement and management, having been actively involved in the impact investing space for over a decade.
Attendees had the opportunity to learn how to make a meaningful difference while achieving financial goals through impact investing in private markets.
