Impact Investing Forum Organized by AFO, FSDC and GIIN (By Invitation Only)
ESG investing is growing exponentially across the globe, with an increasing number of investors adding sustainability considerations into their investment decision making. Impact investing is a key tool with which investors can generate positive, measurable social and environmental impacts whilst also obtaining financial returns. By integrating parameters such as sustainability, transparency and accountability, impact investors are now developing more comprehensive and robust risk management metrics. Bloomberg has projected that ESG assets could hit $53 trillion by 2025, a third of global assets under management.
In response to this rising interest from family offices and private investors, the Association of Family Offices in Asia (AFO), along with the Financial Services Development Council (FSDC) and the Global Impact Investing Network (GIIN), is co-organizing the Impact Investing Forum. A part of AFO's Missions Action Group sustainability and better world Activities programme, this closed-door event, will feature key representatives and stakeholders from the impact investing space. Speakers will share their views, industry developments as well as promote further discourse and progress.
Family offices and private investment offices in our network are invited to join us on 27 May 2022, 2:30pm (HKT)
