Compass Series | Tideline

Impact investing in Asia is reaching a pivotal moment. Last November, the Japanese government took a significant step by allowing the world’s largest pension fund, the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF), to allocate a portion of its assets to impact investments—marking a turning point for the region. But this momentum has been building for years, driven by key institutions like Temasek, RS Group, District Capital in Hong Kong, and the Tsar Family Office in Singapore.

Today, investors in East and Southeast Asia contribute 7% of the global impact investment market, which now exceeds $1.5 trillion, according to the GIIN. At the same time, crucial elements such as policymaking, networks, standards, and verification are strengthening the market’s foundation.

Featuring top investors, intermediaries, and market-building organisations, this session is for those looking to understand and shape the future of impact investing in the region.
