Finnfund & ILX: Opportunities for impact investing in Emerging Markets
Join Finnfund and ILX in this seminar to discover and discuss the investment opportunities that emerging and frontier markets present for impact-minded investors. The seminar brings together institutional investors, in particular Finland and Nordic-based pension funds. You will meet leading asset managers and fiduciary advisors as well as investment experts from development finance institutions.
Audience
The aim is to host approximately 30 senior representatives in person and a bigger number attending the online streaming. The audience will be composed of Nordic-based pension funds, investment-focused professionals, leading asset managers, academics, consultants, and development finance experts from Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) and Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), and members of European governments focused on sustainable and development finance.
Key objectives
- Introduce Emerging Markets and Development Finance as a high-impact investment opportunity with attractive risk-return and direct climate and social impact.
- Demonstrate that Finnfund, ILX and the broader MDB and DFI ecosystem are experienced, trusted and reliable investment partners with commercially and impact minded investment processes.
