The Global Impact Investing Network的动态

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT >> In Pensions for Purpose’s latest Impact Lens research, co-sponsored by Aquila Capital, AXA Investment Managers, Baillie Gifford, Franklin Templeton, Resonance Limited and Vontobel, the UK pension funds surveyed and already allocating resources to impact investment committed between 1% and 25% of their portfolios to such solutions. A majority maintain a long-term outlook, spanning 10 to 30 years, with expectations of these investments meeting both financial and impact goals. Asset owners with a more extended history in impact investing reported satisfaction with their returns. Conversely, those with shorter investment durations presented a more varied response, acknowledging the need for a full market cycle to fully assess performance. #ImpactInvestment #ImpactLens #PensionsforPurpose https://ow.ly/T8gH50Qcv6v

It's fantastic to see the market and media (kudos to Mona Dohle) talking about pension funds that are committed to genuine stewardship. NOW: Pensions' decision to transition all their assets to Cardano for better stewardship alignment is a bold move that deserves applause. However, it's important for statements to remain precise, so that companies and pension members select providers that meet their requirements. The headline "Now:Pensions ditches third party managers over stewardship alignment" implies stewardship was the primary motive of this asset transfer. However, Cardano bought NOW:Pensions in 2019, so presumably this has always been on the cards for commercial reasons. Regarding split voting, I respectfully disagree with Keith Guthrie that it represents a “race to the bottom”. Fund managers have historically offered flexible voting options to clients in segregated mandates. Recognising that not all pension funds can manage assets internally nor typically appoint a single third-party manager for perfect alignment, more managers are offering the same flexibility in pooled funds. Many prestigious pension funds have done a great job on engagement & voting for years, whether or not they manage all the money — bear in mind they do choose the strategy. In some of our cases, pension funds actively participate in decision-making on specific votes, exemplifying collaboration between managers and clients. Regardless of motives, intentional alignment on stewardship is crucial, and that's an achievement worth celebrating for Now:Pensions. Moving forward, it would be beneficial if Cardano’s voting records were more accessible online.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT >> Private markets, where impact additionality is achieved, are still crucial in impact investment according to an independent Impact Lens study by Pensions for Purpose, co-sponsored by Aquila Capital, AXA Investment Managers, Baillie Gifford, Franklin Templeton, Resonance Limited and Vontobel. Private market investments accounted for 47.3% of the total number of funds, while listed assets comprised 52.7% of the investment options provided by managers offering impact solutions to UK pension fund investors. #ImpactInvestment #PrivateMarkets #PensionsforPurpose https://ow.ly/Pc0V50Qct3w
