Insights on Impact Investing: Lessons from the Queensland Endowments for Impact Series

Our Investment Director, Karen Ng, recently participated in the Queensland Endowments for Impact Series, an event organised by our partner Good Wolf Partners and hosted by Hand Heart Pocket, the Charity of Freemasons Queensland. Karen shared valuable insights on impact investing, and we have summarised the top 5 takeaways for you:

  1. Impact investing transcends a single asset class – it enables the allocation of a diversified impact portfolio across public and private markets, including equity, debt, real assets, and more.

  2. Impact investing doesn't have to compromise returns – Brightlight has successfully guided clients towards investments with comparable risk-return profiles while amplifying positive impact.

  3. The transition to an impact investment portfolio is a gradual, nonlinear process that can take several years, depending on the portfolio's size and complexity.

  4. Impact investing isn't exclusively for large investors – by collaborating with like-minded peers and advisors, even smaller investors can effortlessly establish an impact investing portfolio.

  5. There's no better moment to begin your impact investing journey – initiate a dialogue with your stakeholders and advisors to develop a customised strategy that addresses your unique requirements.
