About this talk

With increasing social and environmental challenges facing the world, there is a need for companies to help solve these problems. An opportunity exists for companies to develop products and services that can be used to positively impact the world. By leveraging the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) it is now possible for investors to benefit from impact investing opportunities in liquid markets. Successful impact investing requires multi-dimensional solutions that not only target companies with alignment to SDGs, but also those with strong ESG and fundamental attributes while balancing risk considerations. More so, every asset owner has unique sustainability and return targets, so impact portfolios must be flexible and tailored. Join Gavin Smith (Head of Equity Research and Sustainable Investing) and Stacie Mintz (Head of Quantitative Equity) at PGIM Quantitative Solutions to delve into impact investing by exploring: • How factor investing helps intersect upside returns with impact • The role of combining SDG and ESG insights in impact portfolios • Balancing the tradeoff between risk and impact through careful customization • Gaining exposure to specific SDGs that align with investor preferences
