Beyond the Headlines - The Reality of Impact Investing in 2025

​While mainstream media focuses on setbacks and market skepticism, what's actually happening on the ground in impact investing? This panel cuts through the noise to explore the real state of play; from capital deployment and asset creation to the tangible impact being generated in communities worldwide. 

​Guest hosted by Meg Brown, the panel will feature: Per Stahl, Chief Investment Officer - JC Impact Investing (Jäderberg & Cie. Group) & Rhodri Mason, CEO - Tribe Impact Capital, Stephen Muers, CEO Better Society Capital and Catherine Macaulay, Co-Head of Impact Management at Schroders

​Our panellists will discuss perspectives on navigating current headwinds, the evolution of asset owners’ interests, and why this remains a game worth playing even when progress feels measured in inches rather than miles. 

We'll examine what it takes to build resilient impact strategies, find aligned partners, and maintain momentum despite challenging market dynamics.

​This event kicks off our 2025-2026 panel series, designed to provide practical insights and real-world perspectives for investing professionals and executive leaders across public and private markets.
