Chicago Booth alumni and students are cordially invited to the the Impact Investing Forum.
Event Details
Join us for this conference on impact investing forum where we will cover the following:
Topic
- From an institutional perspective (asset manager or investment bank), how are we measuring impacts? Is ESG a real risk? How are investors investing with impact now and are they driving changes to regulators and corporations?
- In Hong Kong, being a more developed country, what has been done so far and what are the different forms of impact investing / social enterprises?
- From an individual or a career perspective, how can I get involved or what are the opportunities out there for me to get to understand more? What's the next step?
