Program Description and Benefits:
As impact investing has gained in popularity, particularly with the next generation of wealth owners, there is still a lot of confusion as to what it means, how to measure success in a variety of opportunities, and does it make sense for my family or my Foundation? We will explore the nuances of the impact and sustainable investing category and discuss its relevance in an investment program. With unprecedented levels of wealth transfer occurring over the next two decades, these investments will become an increasing part of a family’s balance sheet requiring us to answer yet another question, “How can impact investing enhance my legacy plans?”
