Unlocking asset-owner accountability to build value

This session is intended to spark a candid, peer-driven conversation around asset-owner accountability. We will share findings from a 2025 mixed-methods survey, featuring diverse voices from impact entrepreneurs and fund managers that reveal how asset owners are perceived in their role: where LPs meet the mark, and where we can all benefit from developing. Through open dialogue and debate amongst session participants, we will discuss the barriers to greater accountability and highlight opportunities for leadership when LPs choose to step up.

Participants will be asked to reflect honestly, inspecting both the legitimate barriers and potential long term value gained from greater accountability.
