Inside Impact Investing
Monday September 7th | 20:00 - 21:30
An introduction to impact investing through real impact investors experiences.
Discover how you can use your wealth for positive impact. Perhaps you’ve been curious about impact investing for some time. You’ve read articles, followed developments in sustainability and social impact, and wondered how you can put your wealth to work in a way that reflects the values and causes that matter most to you.
What to expect
Be inspired by real stories
Experienced impact investor Fernando Russo shares his personal journey. How did his search begin? What choices did he make along the way? And what does his impact portfolio look like today?
Fernando Russo
Fernando Russo is a Brazilian entrepreneur and impact investor based in Amsterdam. As the founder of Meraki Impact, he is leading his family's single-family office in the transition towards a 100% impact portfolio, with investments focused on regenerative agriculture, sustainable food systems, and ecosystem restoration. Over the past decade, he has been involved in dozens of impact investments around the world. These experiences inspired his new book, The Inner Work of Capital, in which he explores the personal journey behind impact investing.
Understand the basics
What does impact investing actually mean? How does it differ from sustainable or traditional investing? What impact themes exist, and how can you create impact across different asset classes?
Learn together
Short, inspiring presentations and small-group conversations. Meet other private wealth holders and families who are exploring or deepening their impact investing journey.
This session will be hosted by
Suzanne Rosman
Director PYM
As Director of PYM, Suzanne brings together investors, families, and entrepreneurs around the question of how capital can contribute to a more sustainable and equitable world.
Discover what your next step could be
Whether you are completely new to impact investing or have already taken a few steps, this session will help you better understand the possibilities available and what a logical next step might be for you.
There will also be plenty of opportunity to exchange experiences in small groups with other participants who are at a similar stage of their journey. Many participants consider these conversations one of the most valuable parts of the evening: discovering that there is no single right path and that almost every impact investor once started with the same questions.
For whom
This session is intended for private wealth holders and single family offices who want to explore impact investing, gain a better understanding of what an impact portfolio can look like, and learn from the experiences of others.
You do not need any prior experience with impact investing. Curiosity is enough.
What previous participants said
"A refreshing way of sharing knowledge and experience in the transition from traditional investing to conscious investing for positive impact."
"This session showed me that you do not need to know everything before you can start impact investing."
"What I valued most was the openness with which experienced impact investors shared their own journey and portfolio."
