Building the Case for Gender Lens Investing Across Asia
Tuesday June 9, 2020, 15:00 (JST) (GMT+9)
Gender Lens Investing (GLI) is key to the economic development of the region. In light of this, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation has supported and collaborated on a landscape report of gender-lens investment vehicles across Asia Pacific. This work was co-authored by Catalyst at Large, Sagana and SPF, and draws on data from 2019 from both Wharton Social Impact Initiative and Veris Wealth Partners.
This session will take a dive into the key findings of the report which spans both public and private markets vehicles with a gender lens mandate. With further insights from an expert panel of speakers, delegates will explore where capital is moving, into which structured vehicles, and the profile and approach of those vehicles. From SPF's Gender Investment and Innovation Department, Ms. Ayaka Matsuno (Director) and Ms. Natasha Shih (Senior Investment Officer) will participate as speakers.
Join us for this interactive session to discuss the insights from the report and to talk about where investors can collaborate to advance the field. Please click
