Pensions for Purpose’s Post

Pensions for Purpose is launching a new survey to understand European and UK pension funds participation in venture capital and growth investments – asset classes with the potential to transform markets by driving innovation, advancing sustainability and supporting economic growth, all while delivering financial returns. 🚨European pension funds manage €3.5tn, yet only 0.01% is allocated to venture capital (VC) – this highlights the funding gap and untapped potential. 🌍 Recognising the transformative potential of VC – globally and locally – for driving innovation in tech, business and society, we’re delighted to be working on a new Impact Lens research initiative, commissioned by European Women in VC (EWVC). 📝 Our Survey Short explores: • 🌐 Local versus global VC allocations. • 🌱 ESG considerations in VC investing. • 🎯 Target allocations and expected returns from VC. • ⚖️ Challenges and benefits of allocating to VC. EWVC will be presenting the findings this June at SuperVenture. From there, the insights will be featured at top tech conferences across Europe and shared widely in the media and with investors, policymakers, corporates and ecosystem leaders. 👇Fill out the survey, link below in the comments. #VentureCapital #SurveyShort #PensionsforPurpose Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC), British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association (BVCA), The ABI
