Impact Investing: Managing Risk for Long-Term Returns

Moderator:

Betsy Zeidman, Senior Fellow, Milken Institute; Executive Fellow, USC Center for Communication Technology Management

These investors vary in size (from large institutions to small funds to high-net-worth individuals), asset class (from debt to equity to real estate) and approach (from exercising ownership to forging partnerships with government). But they all recognize that investments can produce benefits or costs beyond the targeted financial returns, and that investors and society alike are better off when investment decisions include these multiple factors.
