In this quarterly Impact Investing Adopters Forum all-stakeholder session Pensions for Purpose provided a summary of what third parties are doing to support pension funds on the Impact Investing Principles for Pensions. This was based on an evidence gathering exercise Pensions for Purpose had concluded to understand what investment consultants and fiduciary managers are offering to their clients. This exercise will form an annual assessment to chart and encourage progress in relation to the Principles.
The session also welcomed new forum sponsor Goldman Sachs Asset Management, who discussed their current and future plans on the embedding of impact into their fiduciary management offering.
Tikehau Capital then showcased how pension funds can deploy capital into impact focused private market investments, such as regenerative agriculture.
Q&A followed, moderated by Charlotte O’Leary of Pensions for Purpose.
