It’s clear there are a large number of impact investing ‘intrapreneurs’ within organisations that are looking to move their group forward in the space. They need to be supported or their organisations look to stand to lose significant intellectual capital in what will become an ever-increasing market. Most have less than 1% in impact, so significant room for growth, especially as nearly 80% want to increase their allocations over the next 5 years. And lastly, Private Markets are the asset type of choice, and within that, the asset class of choice in private equity.
To help move the needle, WON has set up a campaign on change.org#5by25 to lobby the Australian government to mandate Australian Super funds to have at least 5% of their total assets invested in impact investments.
