Evidence shows they hold the key to better risk-adjusted outcomes for retirement fund members
The fiduciary responsibilities of retirement fund institutional investors have expanded significantly over the past decade to consider and embrace sustainable investing and investing for impact.
In September 2015, 193 countries signed and adopted the 2030 UN Agenda for Sustainable Development, with the UN estimating that the global gap to implement the 17 sustainable goals ranges from $3-trillion to $5-trillion annually. Impact investing traditionally entails private investments made into companies or real assets to make a significant social and environmental impact alongside strong financial returns.
Carlyle also argues that it is no longer possible to generate the type of returns investors have become accustomed to without investing for impact, as the tailwinds from falling finance costs, recovering economies or rising valuations have all but disappeared. In the new economic climate investors have to generate their targeted returns by helping to consistently build better businesses.
