On Nov. 7, 2024, Kramer Levin will present the 2024 Impact Investing Summit, at which a number of finance industry leaders will discuss ways that impact funds can be used to solve certain problems while simultaneously achieving financial gains.

Our Private Funds lawyers will moderate dialogues on the following topics:

  • Issues and obstacles involved in raising impact funds
  • Getting to the finish line, balancing the separate and sometimes conflicting goals of impact investors and financial investors
  • Managing idiosyncrasies within the closing process
  • Alternatives to impact funds
  • The “why” behind many impact funds and how different types of sponsors launch them
  • The role of impact fund sponsors in the larger ecosystem — is there room for philanthropic capital?
  • Specific considerations in managing impact funds
  • Impact 2.0: what’s upcoming, standardized reporting and other wish list items for sponsors and investors
