Virtual Learning Opportunity: Portfolio Monitoring: A Key Support for "All-In" Impact Investing
Members Only Webinar: Log In To View A Recording!
Critical to going “all-in” on impact investing is having a portfolio monitoring and reporting system that tracks the financial and social performance of impact investments. Such a system is all the more important when investors may increase their impact investment activities as part of an emergency response. Comprehensive portfolio monitoring builds confidence among fiduciaries and the broader capital markets that impact investments can generate both expected financial returns and intended social and environmental benefits.
Rigorous portfolio monitoring also provides an early warning system for identifying investments that may not be meeting expectations, as well as heightened monitoring capability in emergency situations such as COVID-19. With early detection and/or intensified monitoring, potential problems can often be addressed before they impair financial or social performance. Rigorous portfolio monitoring also provides valuable information about investees’ challenges and opportunities, helping the investor understand how best to engage with and support the investee in both strong and volatile market conditions.
Hosted by Avivar Capital, this VLO features and interactive dialogue between a foundation investor, an impact investment advisor, and legal counsel. Participants will learn:
- How rigorous portfolio monitoring and reporting helps to ensure impact investors are upholding their fiduciary responsibility.
