Inside Impact Investing

From a niche, ESG investing has quickly become mainstream. More recently, impact investing is also gaining traction. Are they the solution to the many challenges we are facing - inequality, loss of biodiversity, climate change? Are we on the right track and will we be able to allocate enough capital to finance the necessary transitions?

These are the questions that Sasja Beslik, Chief Investment Strategy Officer at SDG Impact Japan and Chief Investment Strategist Hans Stegeman discuss in a new episode of our podcast series Inside Impact Investing.
