NPC’s review of the KL Felicitas Foundation’s (KLF) impact investment portfolio

---

On behalf of NPC you are invited to the launch of NPC’s review of the KL Felicitas Foundation’s (KLF) impact investment portfolio—an event I am chairing which is kindly hosted by Cambridge Associates.

Date: Thursday 5 November 2015

Time: 4pm arrival, 4.30-5.45pm presentations and Q&A, 5.45-6.30pm drinks and networking 
Location: Cambridge Associates, 80 Victoria Street, Cardinal Place, London, SW1E 5JL

RSVP by: 9 October 2015

Join us to learn how pioneering impact investors, Charly and Lisa Kleissner of KL Felicitas Foundation (KLF), committed 100% of their family foundation’s assets to social and/or environmental impact while achieving competitive market returns. Hear from the report authors, Plum Lomax and Abigail Rotheroe, on key findings from measuring KLF’s social impact and the process of developing an inspiring and practical guide for all impact investors.

NPC has reviewed the social impact of the foundation’s investment portfolio,as well as their impact investing movement building work, in part to inform the foundation of its impact to date—but primarily to provide a practical framework for other investors as to how to measure the impact of their own portfolios. The report contains case studies of some of KLF’s investments, tools and processes for others to use and an honest account of the challenges in evaluating impact investments.

This event will be of interest to trusts and foundations, individual investors and family offices alike. The report is one of the most transparent evaluations of an impact investment portfolio, complementing an earlier report published by Sonen Capital detailing the financial performance of KLF’s investment portfolio.

Signing up

To reserve a place please RSVP by 9 October (as places are limited) to Rebecca Goodbourn via events@thinknpc.org or 020 7620 4862.

We look forward to welcoming you at the event.

Best wishes,
