Impact Investing in Family Offices
Advise family offices to invest for social and environmental impact
Building on a companion course (FINC-GB.3348) that surveys the principles and techniques of impact investing, this course offers students an opportunity to develop their knowledge of impact investing using a complementary approach. This course combines the experience of a semester-long consulting engagement focused on a live impact investing opportunity or challenge facing a family office with classroom lectures, case discussions and expert guest speakers from the impact investing field.
This course assembles a small number of family or multi-family offices, each one supporting a project designed around a theme or objective specific to the family office’s needs. The project serves as a focal point for students to deepen their knowledge of impact investing and develop an awareness of the issues facing institutions that engage in ESG related investments.
