Social Impact Leadership Series: What's Next for Impact Investing?

The 2014 US Trust Wealth and Worth survey reports that 63 percent of millennials own or are interested in owning social impact strategies. Additionally, 43 percent of all high net worth investors polled agree that investing is a way to express their social, political, and environmental values.

Joining us to discuss these trends and what the future of the impact investing industry might look like is Brian Trelstad, partner at Bridges Ventures. Bridges Ventures is a specialist impact investment fund with $800 million under management that is raising a fund to invest in businesses that work with underserved communities in the US.

Previously, Trelstad was the chief investment officer of Acumen, a social investment fund investing in innovative social enterprises in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Following Trelstad's talk, please join us for a networking reception.
