As increasing numbers of individuals, foundations and institutions look to make investments that are focused on positive impact while generating a financial return, a growing number of funds and investors are looking to the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a framework for their investments. Given that, by some estimates, $3-$5 trillion annually will be needed to meet the goals, capital markets have a key role to play. But while there is much talk in the investment community about the SDGs, what will it take to turn enthusiasm into action, enabling greater financial flows to be directed towards the goals? At this year’s FT Investing for Good USA, organized in partnership with FT Moral Money, institutional investors, wealth managers, foundations, government, family offices, social entrepreneurs and others will discuss how innovative finance could support meeting the SDGs while also providing a financial return.
