  • All things #ImpactInvesting

    Together with ImpactAlpha’s “The Brief” (Daily Newsletter) this is the best way to stay up to date and “in the know” of what’s happening in the world of Impact Investing. The show usually entertains contrasting ways, relevant topics, and the occasional subject matter expert. In my mind, a must for any practitioner, wannabe practitioner, or anyone for that matter (in the end we are all Impact Investors whether we want to or not).

Q: How do Impact Investors' AI theses hold up against a rapid shift in policy and safety expectations?
Investors argue that maintaining guardrails and governance alongside rapid AI development can create a more robust, investable AI ecosystem, even if it slows deployment in the short term; the long-term payoff could be more sustainable value and regulatory legitimacy.

Q: How did the Tsao Family Office translate a family charter into an investment mandate?
They started with a charter rooted in societal and business values, then mapped those principles first to ESG concepts and finally to impact, building a small internal team to create a practical, investment-ready mandate and a multi-asset strategy.
