Institutional investors are facing a growing set of risks that don’t fit neatly into traditional risk models, whether it is climate shocks, social pressures, nature loss, regulatory developments or more. These challenges raise questions about fiduciary duty and how long-term capital should respond.

In this session, panellists will share ideas about how they are using impact investing to grapple with systemic risk, strengthen portfolio resilience and balance financial returns with real-world outcomes. How are impact considerations influencing asset allocation, governance and investment decision-making, and how can investors think about impact over the longer-term?

Reviewing the evolution of mid-market infrastructure investment, attractive characteristics to investors, and case study examples demonstrating impact and resilience at a local, national and regional level. 

Pension funds are adopting and implementing impact into their portfolios in different ways. This session will focus on how investors are thinking thematically about healthcare, housing and climate mitigation, and what this means in practice.

Panellists will offer up case studies on their approaches, discuss the rationale behind these thematic allocations, and discuss the ways that they are engaging with their communities and delivering measurable outcomes.

The session will provide a practical examination of how thematic impact strategies are developed, managed and assessed over time. Practitioners will offer insights into the opportunities, challenges and lessons learnt by deploying impact capital across these three key sectors.
