  3. Investing for Impact: Theory to Implementation with a Focus on Private Equity

    The journey from theory to implementation in Private Equity is a complicated one and as momentum in impact investing grows so does the potential for impact washing. Understanding your options in a nascent but rapidly evolving asset class is key. We will aim to answer common questions such as: Why is private equity ripe for impact investing? What does the universe of opportunities look like? What does best practice look like and what are some red flags to watch out for?
