Guernsey Finance has published a practitioner’s guide to impact investing and sustainability.
Produced in conjunction with Innovest Advisory, a specialist impact adviser to the private funds industry and the private wealth sector, the guide provides an introduction to the key concepts and terminology used by the impact and sustainable investment sector.
It also offers guidance to private wealth professionals on how to engage clients around sustainability issues. It introduces the concept of impact measurement and its importance in providing confidence to practitioners and clients when undertaking an impact journey.
Justin Sykes, Managing Director of Innovest Advisory, commented: “We understand it can be difficult for investment professionals to introduce the concept of sustainable and impact investing. We hope this guide will enable them to start having those conversations with their clients and identify investment opportunities that are truly sustainable.
“The guide outlines the various stages of the process, from identifying the drivers behind a family’s aspirations, to achieving meaningful impact, to creating a strategy and framework right through to the execution of the strategy and measuring its impact.”
