‘WoNA hosted its first Impact Investing Conference on 7th August 2020, bringing together 36 investment professionals, from 23 firms, from Australia and offshore, who are custodians of wealth, collectively managing/advising assets in excess of A$1 trillion.
Wealth of Nations Fintech also used the opportunity to launch its Impact Investing Portfolio (IIP) App, the world’s first smart-device only app, to build and facilitate engagement between investors, impact managers and partners for impact in an effort to accelerate the free flow of institutional capital to drive positive social and environmental change in support of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
We were privileged to have been joined by a group of progressive-thinking, global community-minded individuals, who took over 3 hours out of their busy work schedules, to share their collective experience and varying approaches to impact investing and to see how over time, we may facilitate a meaningful increase in the flow of institutional capital into impact investments.
We are appreciative of the support received from the conference participants and are especially thankful to our impact managers and panel speakers, who made this event possible despite the challenges of different time zones (Bangalore-Maryland-Melbourne-Miami-Washington DC) and various WFH set-ups.
Thanks to our impact clients: Impact Investment Group, MicroVest, Quona Capital and WaterEquity; our panellists: Josephine Toral, Hesta; Liza McDonald, First State Super; and Dan Simpson, ANZ Private Bank; and our Asset Consultant presenters: Tim Conly, Jana Investment Advisors; and Joey Alcock, Frontier Advisors.
