FSDC Industry Exchange Series – Trailblazing for Change: Hong Kong, the Impact Investing Hub of Asia
The global financial landscape has undergone a profound transformation with the ascent of sustainable finance. Impact investing, a potent force among these changes, is a compelling mechanism for aligning investor capital with societal and environmental imperatives. This around US $1.2 trillion market, according to GIIN, reflects investors' growing interest in tackling critical issues like climate change, poverty, and inequality through their investments.
Hong Kong has the potential to carve a niche for itself as a hub for impact investing, leveraging its inherent strengths and competitive edge. This strategic trajectory not only aligns with the city's aspirations to emerge as a key regional family office centre but also bolsters its stature as a green and sustainable financial hub. To this end, the FSDC conducted a comprehensive study to delineate strategies for advancing impact investing in Hong Kong and fostering active corporate and institutional investor participation. The report also puts forward policy recommendations essential for cultivating an environment conducive to the thriving of impact investments and initiatives.
You are cordially invited to an Industry Exchange Series webinar, where we delve deeper into the insights gleaned from the paper. Our distinguished speakers will discuss the importance of impact investing in shaping our sustainable future and ways to enhance Hong Kong’s toolkit as a destination for impact investment.
