DV Team: ‘Raising Impact’ Singapore. Sep ‘23

We're witnessing a transformative phase in Asia's investment landscape:

  • Wealthy families are leading a shift towards impact-driven investments, promising both societal benefits and financial growth.

  • At our Raising Impact event in Singapore, we explored the rise of sustainable and impact investments in the Asia Pacific.

  • Trending in Asia: Private equity stands out, with families using it to tap into local resources and mentor future leaders.

Key Takeaways:

  • Shift to Sustainability: The region's affluent families are increasingly drawn to sustainable investments, aligning with both financial and positive societal outcomes.

  • Growth & Legacy: The booming Asia Pacific offers vast growth opportunities. Private equity not only promises returns but also serves as a platform to mentor the next generation of family leaders.

(DV) Ambra Berselli's Insights:

  • Private equity in Asia-Pacific serves dual roles: offering financial returns and preparing the next generation of family leaders.

  • This approach ensures both financial growth and the continuation of family legacies.

Note: Ambra Berselli's insights are based on her interviews with families in Singapore and Hong Kong.
