The 10% challenge: How impact investing is entering the institutional space

Podcast host Karel Nierop sits down with Laure Wessemius-Chibrac, Managing Director at the Netherlands Advisory Board on Impact Investing (NAB), and Hadewych Kuiper, Managing Director at Triodos IM, to find an answer to this question. They also talk about the bottlenecks and potential solutions to scale impact investing in the institutional space.

Key topics of this podcast include:

• The role of private capital in bridging the SDG financing gap of more than USD 4 trillion.
• The 10% impact target initiative by the NAB, encouraging Dutch institutional investors to voluntarily allocate at least 10% of their Assets under Management (AuM) to impact investments by 2025.
• The biggest practical bottlenecks and how to take these away.
• The specific ambition of 4% allocated to emerging markets by 2030, given that many of the biggest social and environmental needs are in emerging markets.
• European research also identifies the Netherlands, alongside the UK and France, as one of the leading European impact investing markets by AuM. What parts of these models could realistically be replicated elsewhere in Europe?

As Laure Wessemius-Chibrac notes: “The private sector has a long-term view and understands where economies are moving to. Impact is actually one of the opportunities that they have to start investing in.”
