LP’s and asset allocators are arguably one of the least discussed yet most influential roles in Impact Investment. Access to values aligned capital is a persisting pain point for social innovators and, relatedly impact GP’s struggle to close LP dollars for impact funds. Investible impact opportunities abound but capital access remains opaque and biased toward larger funds and closed, small networks, which obstructs innovation and impact progress. This candid fireside chat will discuss some bold and practical ways to move forward.
