Social investment has become a growing interest for many high-net-worth individuals interested in combining measurable social impact and "doing good", alongside financial return. Consequentially, advisers should be up to date on the industry definitions, developments and market opportunities the growing impact investment market proffers, in order to guide and advise their clients through the wide ranging topics and issues. The panel will give an overview of the current social investment market in the UK, looking at the continuum of approaches ranging from social investing to impact investing, to include the role of social enterprises and how the B-Corporation framework.

  • First-hand case studies; the philanthropist move away from simple grant-making
  • A critical look at government incentives to encourage social investment
  • The legal and governance requirements of the B-Corporation framework
