Impact investing - The dimensions of impact

Thursday 03 November 2022 | 17:00 - 18:00 | Webinar

Innovation in the world of impact investing has catapulted it from the philanthropic fringe to mainstream markets. But the industry remains dogged by the same questions: How is impact defined, what benchmark should be used, and is ESG important?

We take a dive into the dimensions of impact with Beth Houghton, Partner & Head of Impact Fund at Palatine Private Equity, to explore:

• How they consider impact alongside returns;
• The challenges they face in accessing and reporting the right information; and
• Whether they think good ESG credentials are important to impact investing.
